Breton Music Festivals

Fest Noz

The Festoù Noz was traditionally the feast which took place after a communal chore in Breton villages and towns as a means of relaxation after a hard day’s work. Nowadays it has become a wonderful excuse to listen to traditional music, eat, dance and make merry!

The Fest Noz dance, with it’s infectious music played on violins, flutes, guitars and drums, is for everybody to join in, with simple steps and hands linked. They are held all through the summer months particularly in all villages and towns. The music has recently undergone a huge revival.

Fest-Noz.net is a wonderful site listing all the Fest Noz and Fest-Diez in Brittany - Not to be missed!

Bagdad

A Bagdad is another kind of gathering, when Breton bands assemble to practise their skills on the bombarde and the biniou.  These are advertised locally - ask any tourist office about forthcoming events, or check the Breton music section of the popular daily newspaper Ouest-France.

To contact us please email giving full contact details and requested dates and we will respond within 24 hours. 

We hope you enjoy your visit to the site of Ty Bihen, a converted self catering Breton Stone cottage on the Pink Granite Coast, Cotes D'Armor, Brittany, France.
