For ten days, over 200 workshops, tours and activities are offered throughout the destination, providing the opportunity for parents and grandparents to enjoy some great moments with sustainably committed players. Intergenerational and eco-citizen, ” Ferme en Folie ” will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024, with surprises, new features… and a big final birthday party!

Like Festi-Récré, which takes place in the spring, this festival is a real opportunity for intergenerational sharing, to discover or rediscover local products from A to Z.Even the grown-ups will learn a thing or two! In addition to seafood, the region boasts an infinite range of refined, high-quality local products. There are countless small producers, breeders, craftsmen and designers who draw on local resources to make, cook and imagine 100% local products “made in Granville Terre et Mer”. From the farm that produces or breeds to the restaurant or processing workshop, all the links in the chain open their doors to you. For this 10th edition, the festival is aiming to be eco-responsible, and many of the workshops are in line with this theme: craft workshops, cooking classes, farm visits and the discovery of the agricultural environment: milking cows, sheepfolds… Over 200 events!
