Continental adventures


One morning while walking to the market in Le Pouligan, we came across a festival for St. Anne. There was a procession with bagpipes, traditional dress and an icon of St. Anne, progressing through the streets with churchgoers following and singing in unison. It was quite an interesting event. Leaving the market, we came across a group of traditionally dressed Bretagne dancers who were playing instruments, singing and dancing. The costumes were lovely and can be seen recreated in a the Quimper style pottery that is sold everywhere in the region.
