This French federation, whose aim is to preserve and promote French traditions in all départements, has already organized events at the Château de Breteuil, including a parade of traditional folk costumes.

This time, it's an exhibition that can be discovered along the castle's tour route. The rooms feature antique costumes. Each costume recounts a little piece of French folklore. From Brittany to the Basque country, via Alsace and Auvergne, the history and culture of the French regions is told through these costumes.
