GRAS DE DOUARNENEZ
Go there and contact
It's one of the biggest carnivals in Brittany! Five days of costume parades, balls, weddings, bonfires and crazy challenges.
It's the biggest carnival in Brittany, and undoubtedly the most picturesque. In existence since 1835, it takes on a special meaning in this port town: it marks the end of winter, a period when fishermen work less. Les Gras de Douarnenez takes place over five days: the induction of the Den Paolig (a papier-mâché giant representing a local personality) on Saturday, a grand parade on Sunday, an inter-bar race on Monday, and a costume ball on Tuesday evening. Finally, on Wednesday, after the children's ball, the Den Paolig is incinerated in a bonfire!
