The Teknival settled Thursday, May 18 in the middle of the night on this private fallow land, that is to say unused for a certain period to allow it to reconstitute its production capacity. Dominique, owner of this land for more than 25 years, went there this Saturday: “All these young people are very polite. As soon as they found out that I was the owner, they all said ‘thank you'”.

Festival-goers who take “the time to clean up”

The farmer does not plan to file a complaint but he wants to find his land in good condition after the party: “It would bother me if they left a building site impossible, bottles, papers and cans of beer everywhere”. However, he found this Saturday afternoon that “young people stop the music regularly for two hours to take the time to clean up”.

“It wouldn’t do any good for me to be angry”he added. “I can’t help it, anyway, they fall there like that. For now, I’m just looking to see if it’s clean and if the field isn’t rutted”.
