France is observing October as a symbolic month for the fight against breast cancer, with various events planned nationwide to increase awareness about early detection and screening. In the Vienne region, the CHU of Poitiers is organizing several activities in Châtellerault and Montmorillon to support this cause. For example, in Poitiers, the photography exhibition Les krâneuses qui Tétonnent by Morgan Matyjasik, which portrays a different perspective on breast cancer, will be on display in the entrance hall of the Jean-Bernard building throughout October. From Tuesday, October 20th, to Wednesday, October 21st, self-examination workshops will be held in the wellness bubble on the same building’s courtyard. In Montmorillon, the film Couture will be screened at the Majestic Cinema on Friday, October 16th, at 8 p.m., followed by a public discussion with radiologist Claudia Beganu. Pink Marches, or solidarity gatherings, are also planned across the region during October. In Poitiers, events will take place on October 8th and 16th, while in Montmorillon, one will occur on September 10th. The first Pink March in the Vienne region for the October Rose 2026 campaign will be held this Saturday, October 3rd, in the commune of Châtellerault, as reported by La Nouvelle République. The demonstration will start at 9:30 a.m. from Place Émile-Zola and proceed through the city streets to the center. Alongside the march, local residents will set up two stands at Place Dupleix and Place Émile-Zola, where flowers, jams, pins, and meringues will be available for sale. The funds collected from these stands will be donated to women in vulnerable situations who are undergoing post-breast cancer treatment at the thermal center of La Roche-Posay in Vienne. These activities aim to raise both awareness and financial support for those affected by breast cancer. All practical details about the events, including schedules and locations, can be found on the website of the CHU of Poitiers.
