Festival des Voiles de Travail

From Wednesday 20 to Sunday 24 August 2025

5 days of discovery and entertainment around the maritime heritage living on the port of Granville.

A tribute to the sea

its men and women

The Festival des Voiles de Travail was created in 2012 and attracted nearly 50,000 visitors last year for its twelfth edition.A nautical festival of course, like its older counterparts, but also, and above all, an educational festival designed to make the general public fully aware of the economic importance of the event;the economic and cultural importance of the whole maritime past, around which the life of our coastal regions has been structured. The original nature of this event combines activities at sea, activities in the port and events on land, and gives a complete vision of what the working sailboats were.

Great fishing

and shellfish

For centuries, Granville has lived to the rhythm of the sea and its carnival. Festival des Voiles de Travail aims to bear witness to this rich past, when sailing and the practice of sailing were first and foremost a means of subsistence.
