Fetes and Festivals

It's fête time in Brittany. At this time of year we seem to have a local fête every weekend. Today was the Fête de Megalithes in Plesin-Trigavou. Next week it's the Fête des Remparts in Dinan, then next week the Fête du Pain and then the following weekend the Fête du Blé in Pleudihen sur Rance and I think the week after the Comice de Agricole at Saint Judoce. They are all excellent events with side shows, main attractions, and usually a midday or evening meal of sorts.

Raising a megalithWe visited the Fete de Megalithes today and had a really enjoyable time.

Pictured is a demonstration of raising an ancient stone, a.la. Stonehenge, but on a slightly smaller scale.

Excellent Breton country fair with loads to do for the children (arts, crafts, face painting, horse rides), along with Breton dancing, an evening repas and Grand Fest Noz.
