FOIRE SAINTE-ANNE

One of the Cotentin region's major festivals, Sainte-Anne de Bricquebec-en-Cotentin takes place at the end of July. Naturally, the event kicks off with a market in this traditionally agricultural town. It's a market so dense that it takes hours to wander through it, to make sure you don't miss out on any of the encounters, tastings and shopping. Then it's time for the funfair, certainly one of the largest in the Cotentin region, along with the Lessay fair. Concerts and dozens of other events bring the town to life, attracting tens of thousands of people.
