Listening to and experiencing the Pays de Montbéliard

Rendezvous in the Pays de Montbéliard

In partnership with the IUT Nord Franche-Comté, the Pays de Montbéliard Tourist Office invites you on a unique sound journey to discover the region in a whole new way.

Through the podcast series “Rendezvous in the Pays de Montbéliard”, 21 students from the MACAST programme have created and produced 11 episodes, offering a different way to experience the Pays de Montbéliard – through its stories, iconic places and remarkable personalities.

After extensive research into the local heritage, they developed lively and accessible stories. They then went into the field to record interviews, atmospheres and authentic sounds. Each episode was written, recorded and edited by the students themselves.

The result: an immersive, fresh and authentic podcast series inviting you to discover the Pays de Montbéliard in a whole new way – by listening closely to its voices and stories.
