The New Year is approaching and, this year, why not swap the classic evenings for an unforgettable getaway in Finistère? This enchanting corner of Brittany is full of unique events and surprising experiences to celebrate the end of the year in style.
Prepare to be amazed: after a New Year's swim in one of the beaches of Finistère, here are ideas for a New Year's Eve that's off the beaten track!
Light shows to start the year magically
If you think that Finistère is all about its maritime landscapes, think again! In Audierne, the port lights up with the magical event “Le Goyen en Lumières”, until January 6. A breathtaking spectacle where boats and facades shine brightly, enhancing the winter atmosphere.
For those who prefer a touch of magic, head to Concarneau. Fire and magic shows transform the city into a veritable open-air theater. Enough to leave your eyes sparkling even before the midnight countdown.
Dare to be unusual: parades and local traditions
Finistère has no shortage of originality to celebrate the new year. If you were in Dinéault and Châteaulin, there were illuminated tractors parading in a festive and warm atmosphere. A local tradition which combines Breton rurality with the spirit of celebration.
Love challenges? Take part in the famous running race “La Corrida de Quimper” today. It's not just a question of sport: it's a real village festival where we run in disguise, in a contagious good mood.
Parties and evenings for all tastes
Want a more cozy evening? Quimper offers a refined dinner in a junior suite for an elegant New Year's Eve. In Brest, you can opt for a relaxing getaway in a modern studio or a wellness stay in a 4-star spa.
A New Year under the sign of relaxation
If you want to start the year gently, opt for a wellness break. In Douarnenez, treat yourself to a thalassotherapy weekend to release all the tensions of the past year.
Do you prefer a romantic getaway? Go to Bénodet, where you can stay facing the Glénans archipelago and explore the region by bike. A soothing way to combine nature and discovery.
So, are you ready to experience a New Year like no other? One thing is certain: in Finistère, every moment will have the taste of the unexpected and the promise of a memorable year.
