"Roch Morvan Castle" by François

I want to talk you about my region and the several celebrations which are happened in this period. In fact, I live at La Roche Maurice, a little and peaceful village at 25 km of Brest. This week-end will organize a medieval festival and I come back home for this event which mobilize all the population.

After 28 years of excavations, the emblem of my village, the Castle Roch Morvan, is accessible to public. Its construction began in the eleventh century but after many wars concerning Brittanny’s independence and religions, it remains only the principal tower. In 1926, it was classed historic monument and the property of the department.

To celebrate the end of the site, the 12 June will have happened “the Ripailles of Roch”. During the entire journey, the village will be in party. Many medieval celebrations will be presenting, grilled pork and a big fireworks will close make this event.

In this early summer, there are many celebrations in the North Finistere. In fact, for 2 months, Landerneau (city at 5 min from La Roche Maurice) celebrate the 500 years of its habited bridge, it’s the only in France and the third in Europe! Regularly, there were parades and costume parties all around the city.

Furthermore, if you don’t know so much my region, I inform you there are so many activities and celebrations during the summer, particularly with all music’s festivals (Vieilles Charrues, Bout du Monde, Fête du bruit…).
I wish you nice holidays in Brittany!
