Singers and actors recreate the ambience of the Belle Epoque in the beautiful half-timbered streets of Quintin for the town's Festival des Chanteurs de Rue (Buskers Festival).
The festival is held at the same time as the Saint-Martin fair, which dates back to the 15th century. Visitors can try such local delicacies as cod fricassé, roasted chestnuts, crêpes and celebrated bolée de cidre (bowl of cider) while singers and strolling players play timeless Breton songs that the crowd enthusiastically participate in.
