FÊTE DE LA CHANDELEUR

It's a popular festival that usually marks the beginning of the year in Saint-Lô. While many communes in the department celebrate Chandeleur, it's in the prefectural city that young and old alike gather for two weeks of excitement, laughter and lights. It's on the Plage Verte, opposite the station, that you'll find this huge funfair! There's something for everyone: from games of skill for the youngest to thrill rides for the oldest, the choice is vast enough.
