The festival was created on the initiative of the city of Luxeuil-les-Bains in 2002. The originality of the Pluralies is based on three major orientations:
- Eclectic programming with a demand for quality (shows at the Cloître and at the Maison du Cardinal Jouffroy at 9.30 p.m. and at the Auberge at 7 p.m.)
- Highlighting the extraordinary architectural heritage of Luxembourg (The Cloister, the House of Cardinal Jouffroy, the Abbey of Saint Colomban)
- Search for conviviality and social bond at the beginning of the summer when the public is asking for an outdoor event and wishes to reclaim the city in a different way. ( inn open from noon to midnight, workshop and cultural barter at the Pluralies lounge)
