L’HippoCampe arrives as a travelling theatre drawn by Breton draft horses, carrying a cabaret troupe of actors, circus artists and musicians. Le cabaret des animaux à fleur de peau turns Jean de La Fontaine’s fox, crow, frog, donkey, ant and cicada into comic mirrors of human impulses. Songs, clowning and live music give the fables an irreverent family form, while the horse-drawn stage keeps spectacle and Breton equestrian know-how connected.
Topic: events
C’est un pays de mystères
C’est un pays de mystères gathers Erwan Balcou’s engravings, ceramics and artist’s books around worlds of travel, legend and elemental forces. His end-grain method cuts apple, pear, holly or boxwood with a burin, leaving each printed image inside the irregular contour of the branch. Breton and Arthurian echoes meet megaliths, springs and trees; poet Annie Pennanec’h adds a dialogue between carved image and written imagination.
Festival Autobrocante de Lohéac
Festival Autobrocante turns Lohéac into a meeting place for automobile history, practical know-how and collector culture. Hundreds of exhibitors bring car and motorcycle parts, scale models, vintage toys and books; circuit demonstrations and amphibious vehicles put machinery in motion. Classic and modern GT displays connect the fair with the Manoir de l’Automobile, while galette-saucisse and farmhouse cider add Breton conviviality.
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.
Mahalon Discovery Trails
Chemins de découverte presents Mahalon as a rural commune to explore through hands-on culture and landscape. Farm visits, cider-house tours, artisanal jam making, Breton games and a guided walk around Poulguidou pond link craft, food and place. Practical countryside knowledge emerges as heritage in its own right, shared through the routines and skills of everyday Breton life.
Pardon de Luzunin
Pardon de Luzunin is a compact expression of Breton religious and village continuity. A procession to the fountain gives the event its sacred path, while the shared meal roots the gathering in sociability as well as devotion. Its importance comes from scale and persistence: a lieu-dit, a fountain, a table and a community repeating inherited gestures.
Marche Cuisine in Ploubalay
Marché cuisiné turns the Ploubalay market into a practical portrait of local food culture. Producers, farmers, retailers, restaurateurs, associations and chefs appear together, showing how supply, cooking and communal eating connect. Stalls, prepared dishes and shared tables make the gathering less like a simple market and more like a public tasting of Beaussais-sur-Mer’s culinary network.
Cali Revoltes et Amour fou
Cali brings Révoltes et Amour fou to Quimperlé with Catalan guitarist Pierre-Andre de Vera, revisiting his own repertoire and songs tied to revolt, solidarity and hope. Voice, guitar and text give the evening its intimate scale. La Loco provides a close setting for a leading figure in contemporary French chanson.
Rallye Solex in Quiberon
Rallye Solex turns the Quiberon peninsula into a cheerful procession of vintage machines, costumes and club culture. Decorated Solexes carry a retro mechanical memory through the landscape, while the public side of the ride gives the event its festive tone. Local passion, humour and shared nostalgia for small engines give the procession its unmistakable peninsula character.
Sur des Chardons Ardents
Sur des Chardons Ardents returns to Lianver with a programme that honours its fest-noz roots while opening toward electric and alternative sounds. The anniversary of the dance night gives the festival a clear Breton anchor, even as the line-up crosses styles. Fest-noz memory, cider-country conviviality and adventurous stage culture remain in productive tension throughout the programme.
