À Fond la Cale Festival

At Destination Granville Terre et Mer, you’ll have the chance to celebrate the festive season several times a year. Thanks to the many events held throughout the year, you’ll leave with festive and colourful memories. The Festival À Fond la Cale doesn’t break the rule: 3 days of entirely free and completely wacky festivities.

The festival is an opportunity to have fun, ride the défilé des OFNI and dance facing à the sea! On Sunday, two unusual and joyful races follow one another. The first is the famous course d’Objets Flottants Non Identifiés, a veritable carnival of the sea where participants compete in ingenuity to build a boat and throw themselves into the sea for an improbable race. Last but not least, the famous Saint Martin’s Day whale race sees competitors dressed in whalebones race across the open sea in the hope of winning their weight in mussels! There’s something for everyone at this festival, which is 100% free and completely fun!
