A festival of adventures by women, for women

Born in 2024 in Lorient, the Les Oies Sauvages festival is an original event dedicated to travel and adventure. Created by the collective Un Autre Cycle, a group of Breton women united by a love for slow travel and outdoor life, this festival offers an alternative vision of exploration and world discovery.

Inspiring stories

The festival highlights the journeys of women travelers and adventurers: explorers, sailors, long-distance cyclists, climbers, hikers, and walkers. Through their stories, they share their experience of travel as a way of life, a source of personal transformation, and a means of connecting with others.

A participatory program

Les Oies Sauvages offers a rich and varied program:

  • Practical workshops at a free price: bike repair, navigation, bivouacking, cartography
  • Screenings of travel documentaries
  • Meetings and testimonials from female adventurers
  • Informal sharing sessions about adventure and travel

Partner venues in Lorient

The festival takes place in several partner venues in the city of Lorient, including Tiers-lieu Le Concept, La Balise, and Place de l'Hôtel de Ville. This multi-site presence creates an urban discovery trail and fosters encounters between the public and the speakers.

A free and volunteer spirit

Les Oies Sauvages is a festival entirely run by volunteers, without institutional funding. The workshops operate on a free price principle, making the event accessible to everyone. This independence guarantees the freedom of tone and authenticity of the exchanges that enrich the festival.

Adventure accessible to all

The festival champions an inclusive and accessible vision of adventure. Far from extreme exploits, it values everyday travel, gentle itinerancy, and micro-adventures. Everyone can find inspiration to live their own getaways, at their own pace and according to their means.
