Fête de la Crêpe

The Breton Crêpe Festival in Gourin

Since 1993, the Fête de la Crêpe (in Breton: Fest ar C'hrampouezh) has brought together thousands of visitors every summer at the Château de Tronjoly in Gourin to celebrate the Breton crêpe in all its diversity. A flagship event in central Brittany, this gourmet and festive celebration unfolds over a weekend in a 25-hectare park.

The "Mod Gourin" Crêpe

The "Mod Gourin" crêpe is a local specialty that the town is proud of. Made according to a traditional recipe, it is prepared on 'biligs' (crêpe griddles) by passionate crêpe makers. During the festival, dozens of stands offer crêpe tastings in all forms: sweet, savory, flambéed, or filled.

The World's Largest Crêpe Contest

A highlight of the festival, the world's largest crêpe contest is an impressive spectacle that draws all eyes. Crêpe makers compete to make the largest possible crêpe on a giant 'bilig', in an atmosphere of collective challenge and good humor.

Music, Dance, and Camaraderie

The Fête de la Crêpe is not limited to gastronomy. The program includes:

• Concerts of Breton music and popular songs
• Fest-noz and fest-deiz (Breton dances)
• Activities for children and families
• Artisan market and local producer stands
• Demonstrations of traditional skills

The Château de Tronjoly

The Château de Tronjoly, a historic residence in Gourin, provides an exceptional setting for the Fête de la Crêpe. Its vast 25-hectare park, with century-old trees, hosts the various activities and stages in a rustic and friendly atmosphere. The château and its outbuildings also house exhibitions and dining areas.

An Identity Event for Central Brittany

With over 30 editions under its belt, the Fête de la Crêpe has become an identity event for central Brittany and the town of Gourin. It contributes to the tourist and cultural influence of the Pays du Roi Morvan and perpetuates an emblematic culinary tradition of Brittany.
