No werewolves hopefully...but look out for Merlin!

Tréhorenteuc where this fest appears to be held is great - there's a Church of the Holy Grail with some amazing modern stained glass. I think it was all done up about 40-50 years ago by the parish priest who's commemorated by a statue outside. Memory a bit hazy as I had been on the vin rouge!

There are no end of other sites in the area (Brocéliande)relating to the Breton version of the Arthurian legends. Places like Merlin's Grave - three or four big collapsed stones in the middle of a wood. Quite weird as persons unknown have left little tokens like notes, ribbons, flowers etc stuffed into the cracks and hung from the trees. Really is like going back 2000 years or so.
