79e Foire de Printemps de Gavray
79e Foire de Printemps de Gavray is a long-running spring fair in Gavray-sur-Sienne. The event reflects rural Normandy’s taste for market days, local exchange and practical public gatherings.

It is one of the more distinctive cultural listings in the Normandy calendar.
Fête de la Saint-Marcouf
Fête de la Saint-Marcouf is a local celebration centred around Place de l’Église in Gouville-sur-Mer. The event belongs to the village-festival tradition, where the setting, the name and the community gathering matter as much as the program details. It offers visitors a small-scale view of coastal Normandy life away from larger regional festivals.
Jumping de Canteleu – Normandy Summer Tour
Jumping de Canteleu – Normandy Summer Tour brings equestrian sport to Équi-Normandie.

Festival Livres et Musiques
Festival Livres et Musiques brings literature and live performance together at Les Franciscaines in Deauville. The event fits the venue’s cultural identity, offering visitors a program that can move between words, music and conversation.
