It was very nice to see Mother & Daughter pairings in the parade. It was a kind of passing the torch from Mother to Daughter. It was also a coming out (...)

Another lovely pairing. Notice the "coiffes" on their heads. This is traditional headgear for Breton women. Women would create these lace coiffes that (...)

Old lad, old building - I couldn't resist. He was in his nineties. I wonder what memories were evoked, as the parade passed by.

As the parade turned back onto main street, a problem developed with the lead float. It was tacking to larboard and about to trash a parked car. There (...)

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the tractor got back on proper tack. Laughing, the crowd shouted "LE CIDRE! LE CIDRE! LE CIDRE!" The driver po (...)

The bell tower of l'église Saint Pierre-Et-Saint Paul. The octagonal part contains the bell room. The room is vented on four sides, with the vents he (...)

Bagad Plunered came marching through again. I never heard them play a tune twice. Way to go!

This time around the band had acquired some lovelies. Bring them on, I say.

Another lovely band groupie. I love the way the Sun plays with the lace, causing intricate shadows to drift across her face. A very fetching effect.

The couple that I had missed the first time around. Don't they just look great?

I just wanted to show the back of these traditional Breton costumes. The Breton hat features twin tails, like a tuxedo. The lady has lace spread acros (...)

A couple of Moms having a good time. I love their natural looks, and the two different coiffes. I can't say the same for the idiot in the background. (...)

Boy, was I surprised when Alice Cooper showed up driving the last float. I love the stylized Triskel on the trike. You'll find the Triskel everywhere (...)

First runner-up for Queen of the Festival. Personally, I thought she should have won.

Second runner-up for Queen of the Festival. Her exotic looks were a reminder to me of the time when Spanish traders plied the waters of Brittany, a me (...)

Miss Erdeven 2012, Queen of the Onion Festival. She hadn't quite mastered the royal wave to the crowd. She would wave madly people she recognized on t (...)

With the parade fading into the distance, folks were faced with a decision: head for the beach; or head for the Giant Flea Market. I'll leave you to g (...)

This biker had paused by the alley and was no doubt seriously considering heading for the beach with a babe and a couple of bottles of cider. He sighe (...)
