At Écomusée Ker Dreger, kig ha farz becomes both a practical workshop and a communal meal. Children and adults take part in preparing the emblematic Breton dish, working together before sitting down to eat what the group has made. The format keeps culinary transmission close to everyday practice: a regional recipe is learned through shared gestures, conversation and the simple act of serving it around one table.

Atelier d’alguier en cyanotype
Breton coastal seaweed becomes both specimen and printing tool in this hands-on cyanotype workshop. Participants arrange natural algal forms on light-sensitive paper, then use the monochrome process to make deep-blue botanical images with each frond and branch held in sharp silhouette. The session joins marine observation, photographic craft and the living textures of Plouguerneau’s shore, producing a personal alguier rooted in local sea flora.

Hosted in Primelin, it is a small but precise food heritage event, showing how edible sea plants and familiar cakes can carry regional identity.
