We went down to Benodet for the Bastille Day celebrations and it was simply amazing! Benodet is a holiday resort in the south coast of Finistere. The weather was fantastic - a heat-wave infact - and the papers estimate that there were between six and eight thousand people there for the concert. Alan Stivell and his musicians did not let us down, their energy and talents were phenomenal and we the crowd adored it. What a celebration of music and culture!
The crowd were fantastic. There were people of all ages all enjoying themselves. No-one was behaving badly, getting drunk or being objectionable in any possible way. It was just really happy and so civilised. There were fireworks at 23 30 and the (large) beach and promenade were full of people just being happy!
