La Fête de la Bretagne returns to Paris's 14th arrondissement from May 14 to 24, 2026. Thanks to the Breton Mission, enjoy a lineup of activities—music, dance, cinema, storytelling and gastronomy—that lets you dive into the heart of Brittany.
The Fête de la Bretagne, the famous Gouel Breizh, is making its grand return in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. From May 14 to 24, 2026, expect a packed program of activities that will immerse you in the region’s rich Breton culture. At the heart of the project is la Mission bretonne - Ti ar Vretoned, which, year-round, carries out daily work to champion Breton culture and its reach!
For this edition, you’ll once again be able to enjoy what Brittany has to offer right in the heart of Paris! Fest-noz, Breton dancing, tales and legends, tastings, and cinema and music await you for a week. And we mustn’t forget the famous Crêp’Noz, where Boulevard Edgar Quinet becomes pedestrianized, letting creperies set up tables and cider barrels on the terraces.
