Bird and fish

Grimper au haut d'un phare et jouer les vigies. S’aventurer dans la Bretagne imaginaire des contes et des légendes. Déambuler le nez au vent dans les ruelles de cités pluri centenaires ou relever le challenge d'un Escape Game dans les entrailles d'une forteresse médiévale… Danser jusqu'à l'aube au rythme de la musique électro comme de celle du biniou… Pousser, au détour d'un chemin creux, la porte d'une chapelle enfouie dans la verdure. S'émerveiller de la beauté d'un jubé, de l'éclat d'un vitrail ou de l'audace d'une création contemporaine… Riche de traditions vivantes, la Bretagne est multiple. A vous d'en pénétrer les secrets !
