The Floréales de Combourg
The Floréales de Combourg is a major plant and garden festival organized every spring in the park of Combourg Castle, in Ille-et-Vilaine (Brittany), at the foot of Chateaubriand's childhood home. Considered the largest flower market in Romantic Brittany, it transforms the estate into an exceptional plant market.
A Large Plant Market
Approximately 150 exhibitors — nurserymen, horticulturists, and garden craftsmen — present a wide range of plants, shrubs, rare flowers, and garden products. The event also offers gardening workshops, botanical conferences, floral demonstrations, and an area dedicated to the art of bonsai.
Heritage and Breton Culture
Much more than a simple floral exhibition, the Floréales celebrate nature, gardening, and historical heritage. The event highlights plant heritage and Breton roots, with activities centered around the Breton language and culture when they coincide with the Fête de la Bretagne.
