The Rallye Moustache in residence in Saint-Martin-Valmeroux (15)
​​​

All horn players know Saint-Martin-Valmeroux! After two FITF festivals in 2023 and 2024, the enchanting setting of the Val de la Maronne welcomed the Rallye Moustache this year for its summer residence.

​​​

Co-directed by Grégory Pichard and Jérôme Amelot (French horn champion), this quartet, founded in 2012, supports children in need and has already donated more than €30,000 to the Petits Princes association, which makes dreams come true for children and adolescents seriously ill with cancer, leukemia, and certain genetic diseases. For six days, from August 7 to August 11, the bell ringers led by Colonel Grégory Pichard were welcomed by Father Joly, who hosted them in the former convent of Saint-Martin and opened the doors to the churches of his parish of John XXIII in the Salers region, notably those of Saint-Martin and Saint-Chamant.
Rehearsals in the churches of the Salers region, a grand evening at the Château de Seilhols, a mass and inauguration at Saint-Cirgues-de-Malbert...

With the support of the FRTM and its president, Sophie de Laporte, who is sponsoring his residency in Cantal.
