Every year at the beginning of August, the city of Lorient in Brittany becomes the meeting point for all Celtic cultures. The programme includes: concerts, traditions and a great atmosphere.

Every summer since 1971, Celtic music lovers have gathered in Brittany for ten days of celebrations and just as many wild nights. Originally a modest celebration of bagpipes, the festival has opened up to many Celtic cultures: Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Galicia, Asturias, Australia and also Acadia. Each year, the festival focuses on one nation, and more than 800,000 people attend the performances throughout the city, making it one of the largest festival's in Europe!

A l'origine modeste fête des cornemuses, le festival de Lorient s'est ouvert à de nombreuses cultures celtes : l'Irlande, l'île de Man, l'Ecosse, le Pays de Galles, la Cornouailles, la Galice, les Asturies mais aussi l'Acadie, région de l'Est canadien.

BRETON CYCLING TEAM IN TOUR DE FRANCE

Picture
​
The Tour de France is in its final week with the peloton closing in on climbing the ever imposing Alpes. The tour spent a few wonderful days racing through the Brittany countryside and the region has been represented by its own cycling team with the presence of Bretagne-Séché Environnement.

Brittany is a hot-bed of French cycling, its cradle in a way, due to its intense cycling activity and the place it holds in the sport’s history, with four winners of Le Tour (Lucien Petit-Breton, Jean Robic, Louison Bobet and Bernard Hinault), even if the last stage victory by a rider from Brittany dates back to twenty-one years ago (Pascal Lino in 1994) and the last Yellow Jersey worn by one of the region’s natives is only slightly more recent (Stéphane Heulot in 1996).

This year's best French rider has been breton-born Warren Barguil who is currently 10th in the standings. 

If you look closely at Bretagne-Séché Environnement riders you'll notice a link with the USA as they are riding on wheels made by American Classic.
