Promoting your events

Give your event greater visibility with our events calendar

Are you organising a one-off event within the Montagne Noire Community of Communes?

You can submit details of your event to the Montagne Noire Inter-municipal Tourist Office so that we can help promote it, in particular by featuring it in our online calendar.

To submit your event, please complete the form below.

How should you complete the form? And once it’s been completed, what happens next? We’ll tell you everything!

Steps to follow when communicating an event to us

Psst… The yellow bits are clickable: they roll up and down! 😉

1) Please complete the form correctly

What sort of event is it for?

You can let us know about the following types of events: cultural or sporting events, guided tours, sporting competitions, concerts, shows, conferences, village fairs, exhibitions, cultural or sporting courses, workshops, special menus offered at your restaurant (Valentine’s Day menu, Christmas menu, etc.), car boot sales, themed evenings, festivals, karaoke nights, events for European Heritage Days or Christmas, mountain bike or walking tours, etc.

Best practice for completing the form:

First and foremost, please note the following: we will simply copy and paste your description. Either write it to us in French, or we will translate it using Deepl.com

Write a description that appeals to tourists and includes all the information needed to fully understand the event.

Examples: name of the organising association, programme and schedule of your event (‘On the programme: 7 pm, choir performance; 8.30 pm, dinner’), details of your meal (‘On the menu: mixed salad as a starter, vegetable lasagne with Montagne Noire cheeses as the main course and a crêpe with chestnut cream’), whether registration is required, the general atmosphere of the event, the names and roles of the performers, the style of music at the concert, whether purchasing a drink is compulsory to attend the concert, the style of the film being screened, whether the produce used is sourced from local or French farms, the distance and elevation gain of the hike, whether the event is suitable for children, whether there have been previous editions, the prizes on offer for winning a competition, whether the event is accessible to wheelchair users, whether people can bring a dog on a lead, etc.

Write a description adhering to the rules of spelling, grammar and syntax.
Complete a different form each day whenever the programme schedules differ.
If you wish to send us a photo for which you hold the copyright, the photo must be in landscape (horizontal) format,
If you wish to send us a photograph for which you hold the copyright, it must be in landscape (horizontal) orientation, in JPEG format with a minimum resolution of 900 x 1200. If no photograph is provided or if the photograph does not meet these requirements, we will select a royalty-free image.

Things to avoid when completing the form:

Do not include the date, prices or contact details (telephone, email, website) in the description. There are specific fields for this information on the form.
Do not use all capital letters, abbreviations or emoticons in the description.
Do not upload a poster in the field intended for photos. We do not accept posters.

2) We’ll register your event

We will then take care of registering it in Tourinsoft.

Tourinsoft is a national tourism software programme used throughout the Aude department through the Aude Tourism Development Agency (ADT).

The information recorded in the Tourinsoft software can be picked up by other websites and apps. Your event can therefore be publicised on:

The audetourisme.fr website

To ensure your request is processed and your event receives a minimum level of publicity, please submit the form at least 15 days before the event date.

For example, for a concert scheduled for 15 June, the form must be submitted by 1 June.

Please note that processing may take a few days, as the Montagne Noire Tourist Office team is working on numerous projects. Complete, high-quality event details are generally processed more quickly.

The Tourist Office reserves the right to refuse any request that does not meet its criteria for publication and presentation.

3) You will receive a confirmation email

Once your event has been registered on Tourinsoft, you will receive a confirmation email.

This email contains a summary of the form you have completed.

4) Your event will appear on our online calendar

Your event will be published on our website’s calendar from the day after it is registered. This is because the calendar is updated overnight.

You will then be able to view it directly online.

Finally:

If you wish to make any changes to your event details after registration (such as changing the event date or correcting a typo), you can contact us by email.
If you cancel your event, please do let us know!
