A tête reposée: the skull-box workshop at Saint-Fiacre

A dusk workshop at Saint-Fiacre on the boites à crânes, the skull boxes of a forgotten Breton usage, told in contes and then made by hand.

About this event


When the light goes, the Office de Tourisme Falaises d’Armor gathers a small group at Saint-Fiacre around a Breton usage that slipped out of memory: the boites à crânes. A teller explains what those skull boxes held and why parishes wanted them in plain sight. The talk runs on questions and contes between the explanations. Each participant then shapes a small box to carry home, and a torch belongs in the bag.
