Let’s go for three days of Petites Follies, in Lampaul-Plouarzel! [En images]

It’s the return of the Les Petites Folies festival for three days of music (Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May 2024). The doors opened a few minutes late. It was worth the time to wait, to enjoy this enchanting setting, on the edge of the beach in Lampaul-Plouarzel.
