Gwen-ha-Du giant and illuminations

The day of Saturday July 20 will also be special, since it will see many musicians perform and will end, after the Gwennyn concert, with an illumination of the site, “entrusted to the Spectaculaires company which has already carried it out at the occasion of St. Patrick’s Day.

Please note, for certain activities (conferences, storytelling walks, meals), it is imperative to register in advance, “because places are limited”, specifies Sébastien Minguy.
