SW DA-245 Fête des Brodeuses

The Fête des Brodeuses ("Embroidery Festival") in Pont-l’Abbé a little town in Finistère, isn't just about embroidery, it weaves a fabulous tale in honour of Bigouden's traditions and culture, including music and dancing.

Every July for over 50 years, this festival in Pont-l’Abbé brings Bigouden traditions back to life, and adds a dash of foreign folklore to the mix. It regularly attracts some thirty thousand visitors and the Fête des Brodeuses is like a vast patchwork quilt of music, dance, Breton bagpipes and Celtic folklore groups, spread over the town's streets and stages for four whole days. The festival ends with a gigantic finale in honour of the Embroidery Queen.
