About Montfarville Travel Festival
Every year, the Travel Festival brings together globe-trotters at the Halle aux Grains in Quettehou to share their films and field reports: from hiking expeditions and world tours to portraits of far-off countries. The Promotion Culturelle Montfarvillaise association hosts two afternoons of screenings, complemented by photography and watercolor exhibitions, as well as a special feature-length session on Saturday evening.
Montfarville Travel Festival — edition 2026
For its thirteenth edition, the festival presents two afternoons of filmed travelogues: Madagascar, Cuba, Vietnam, Scotland, and Mali, all shared by the travelers themselves. On Saturday evening, a special feature presentation will be dedicated to the Manaslu trek in Nepal, hosted by filmmaker Roland Dozière. There will also be an exhibition of portraits from around the world and a pastry sale during the intermissions.
