Presqu’île Breizh brings Breton music and dance together across Quiberon Bay in a celebration shared around the peninsula. The Breton invitation Daet Da Zañzal—enter the dance—places collective participation at the centre of the festival. The dates cover three days, and admission is free, while the detailed programme has yet to be announced. The gathering spans the bay through regional musical traditions, social dance and cultural links between peninsula communities. Its identity comes from movement, sound and participation across several days. Participating venues and performers remain forthcoming, so practical plans can be checked against the organiser’s programme closer to the festival. Presqu’île Breizh is rooted in Breton dance culture and the communal energy of the peninsula, leaving room for later announcements while keeping the regional theme clear.

Aboard a Breton Trawler
Conférence “Une campagne à bord d’un chalutier” centres on Jean-Paul Mathelier’s time aboard fishing boats. His photographs capture Breton sailors through work gestures, deck routines and suspended moments at sea. Held in the Marinarium context, the talk connects image-making with maritime labor, giving the fishing port’s memory a human and visual scale.
Le Bal des Enflammés
Le Bal des Enflammés mixes mechanical spectacle with Breton music and night-festival atmosphere. Classic and luxury cars sit beside rides and demonstrations, while Sonerien Du, Ampouailh, Diskar and bagadoù from Morbihan and Côtes-d’Armor bring the sound of fest-noz and bagad culture. Food stalls add rougail, grilled meats and crêpes, making the gathering a broad Pluméliau-Bieuzy celebration.
Nizon Patronal Festival
Fête patronale de Nizon gathers several strands of village life around Pont-Aven: music under the big top, fairground games, country-style food and sporting contests. The Breton Horse Festival gives the weekend a rural anchor, while boules, pétanque and local concerts keep the format close to parish-festival tradition. The patronal feast is shaped by livestock, associations and Breton small-town sociability.
Cap Danse: Dirau by Bilaka
Bilaka’s Dirau takes its title from a Basque word for what endures while transforming. The collective works from Basque dance steps and rhythms, letting walking become choreography and silence become movement. In Tourc’h, the Cap Danse program places Arthur Barat, Zibel Damestoy, Ioritz Galarraga and Oihan Indart in a piece where tradition moves through contemporary physical energy.
“11h55 au Beffroi” Flash Visit
The flash visit around “11h55 au Beffroi” links a compact exhibition with Concarneau’s belfry, one of the city’s strongest heritage markers. A guide frames the building through the Ville Close, the Maison du Patrimoine and the Logis des Gardes. The format is brief, but the subject is precise: civic architecture, fortified-town memory and the visual story built around the belfry.
Secrets of Saint-Michel Chapel
Les Amis de Carnac focus on the Saint-Michel chapel, a landmark above the town’s ancient burial mound. Cyrille Chaigneau traces the building’s past, the stories attached to the hill and the details usually kept behind closed doors. The visit also highlights a mural by Breton artist Alice Pasco, turning a familiar silhouette into a more precise piece of Carnac memory.
Les Tréteaux du Beffroi: La Fontaine
Les Tréteaux du Beffroi present Autour de La Fontaine as a theatre piece built from the fabulist’s moral fables. Under Pierre Sémard’s direction, Dieulefit’s stage turns voices from the fables into a mirror of human comedy and social habit. The Drôme Provençale context gives the show a village-hall intimacy, joining classical French verse with live regional theatre practice.
Edentia Bal Trad at La Coconnerie
Edentia brings bal trad into the intimate setting of La Coconnerie in Aurel, where dance remains the point of contact between musicians and audience. Tao Dumur’s lively playing meets Matthieu Meyer’s more restrained musical world, giving the evening a dialogue of pulse and nuance. The Drôme Valley setting anchors the gathering in a rural tradition of shared floors, acoustic repertoire and village sociability.
Écomusée Maison Michaud Guided Visit
Maison Michaud’s tuyé farmhouse preserves the working life of Haut-Doubs farmers through a collection of two thousand objects. Guided visits explain how households adapted their architecture and everyday practices to long mountain winters. Stories of border markers, smuggling and the Resistance connect this domestic world with the Franco-Swiss frontier.
