Saint-Antoine Celestins Food and Flower Market in Lyon
Mythical market, impossible not to make a stop at this huge market at the weekend. A farandole of colours and a mixture of flavours, the stalls follow one another and do not look alike: fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, bread, roast chickens, charcuterie..
Visions Bretonnes in Plougoulm: Corentin Kembraeg Exhibition
SOZO takes its name from the Japanese words for creation and imagination, and every piece at the Médiathèque Ty Koulm, Plougoulm, is printed by the sun. Cyanotype lays plants on sensitised paper and lets daylight do the exposing; a rinse in water leaves their silhouettes white against deep blue. A fern, a blade of grass, a leaf forgotten on a path: the subjects grow underfoot. Exposure times vary, so blues and shadows shift print to print.
Nocturnes du mercredi in Pléneuf-Val-André: Streetside Concerts
Nocturnes du mercredi turns Pléneuf-Val-André into a street music route shaped by merchants, terraces and the seaside promenade. Bagad Salicornes brings Breton and Celtic sound, while folk, blues, pop and DJ sets spread through Val-André and Dahouët. Seafood counters, cafés and pedestrian streets join the performances, giving the resort a civic evening ritual rooted in coastal public space.
Pardon de Saint-Michel in Plogoff
Pardon de Saint-Michel in Plogoff is a concise parish gathering centred on mass near the local chapel.

Its small scale offers a close view of Brittany’s coastal religious life and the continuity of the pardon tradition.
Galerie Métairie Visit in Scaër: Breton Costumes and Collections
The Galerie Métairie visit in Scaër brings together several collections under one roof: minerals from around the world, Breton costumes, cameras from the 19th and 20th centuries, paintings and photographs from the 1960s. The range gives the visit a cabinet-of-curiosities character, moving between local dress heritage, visual culture and natural specimens. It is especially relevant for visitors interested in how private or local collections can preserve material traces of daily life, image-making and regional identity.
Les Mercredis en fête in Tréguier: Music Below the Cathedral
Mercredi en fête spreads live music across Tréguier’s central streets and squares. Le Pottier and L’Haridon, Skol sonerien Landreger, Ducasse, La Waso, Youl and Slivovitsa move the programme from Breton sonneurs to brass-band colour and wider dance rhythms. By linking several stages within the historic town centre, the gathering lets audiences circulate between local musical practice and contrasting contemporary sounds.
