The Youth house of Florenville contributes to the social and cultural development of the region, by giving youngsters from 13 to 18 years old, the opportunity to meet each other and discover new leisure activities. To this end, the Youth house takes part in the organization of the Tale Festival of Chiny along with the association “Chiny Cité des Contes”. The Festival lasts one week-end and takes place in the village of Chiny. It offers a wide range of tales, told in French by international professional storytellers (from Quebec, various African countries…). Most tales are for adults and youngsters.
