The festival explores the riches of the coast

For this 19th edition, Festi Récré is putting the spotlight on the coastline, the true identity of Destination Granville Terre et Mer. As the tides come in, children are invited to explore the beaches and foreshore to discover the marine flora and fauna. Through these activities, the festival raises awareness among youngsters of the richness and fragility of the marine environment, while taking a playful approach to the issues of conservation and sustainable development linked to the sea. Because the Destination lives to the rhythm of the tides, the festival lives to this natural tempo and, when the sea recedes, offers workshops and discoveries in the back-coast: heritage, nature and local know-how complete this immersion in the Destination.

Closing of the festival

25 April 3pm to 6pm

The festival drops anchor at 8 Milles Nautic to mark the inauguration of its new nautical base in Jullouville. On the programme: a tour of the new nautical base, fun workshops, nature activities around edible seaside plant seedlings, cookery workshops with chef JF Perrin, ephemeral beach art, speedwing initiation, kite workshop, show with freshwater sailors… and plenty of surprises to round off this 19th edition.
