A long saga
Where does France’s biggest music festival – and one of the top festivals in Europe – take place? On the Kerampuilh meadow, on the outskirts of Carhaix, a town in Central Brittany with a population of 8,000. And the people of Central Brittany are proud of this achievement. You’ll always find someone during your stay to tell you about the saga of the Vieilles Charrues, which began with a small ‘kermesse’ in 1992, in a nod to Brest’s Vieux Gréements.
But what were the keys to this success? Opting for a step-by-step development and the event’s remarkable organisation have gradually established the festival’s scope and reputation. And that’s how, every year, this tailor-made orchestration – in terms of its approach to both artists and festival-goers – makes it possible to present this ‘outrageous’ event.
