"In which case you could try Quimper/Kemper. Much smaller than Lorient and with a higher proportion of Breton music. And the town's beautiful!"

             I admit that Lorient is hardly the prettiest of towns, though the festival does give it bags of colour and atmosphere, and it's always worth a trip out to the island - Saint-michel I think. I've been twice and thoroughly enjoyed both visits, especially for the more informal sets outside several of the cafes.
