With his hands clinging to a fishing rod, Eddy's gaze is fixed on a tiny black dot in the sky. At the end of the nylon thread, several tens of meters high, no big fish but a kite in the shape of a sparrowhawk. "He has a touch, he's in full burst there," mocks his friend Vincent.
"The Teknival is a moment that we all spend together, we take the time, we are good, and we can even do a kite competition, on that, we are strong," laughs Eddy while watching his distant paper bird.
At least 30,000 people gathered in the Indre this weekend, to dance in the aisles of this mythical rendezvous of the French festival.

Quentin came, like all the other participants, to party but also "claim the right to party" after the years of festive famine due to Covid.
Lying on the roof of a car, a festival-goer rests, "Being a teufeur is exactly my state," he sums up with a laugh. Find our video on the Teknival at the top of the article.
