A refreshingly unpretentious jazz festival on the banks of the River Aulne in one of the most beautiful corners of Brittany. A young crowd, young musicians and a family atmosphere. Good travel/admission offer from Brittany Ferries too. It is held on the last week of July. Have a look at the video to get an idea of the ambiance:www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv_AEeS8pQQ

A charming, unspoilt market town on the banks of the River Aulne in central Finistère. Good fishing, good restaurants and a wonderful jazz festival on the banks of the river in the summer (30 July-1 August 2010) with a bit of a "Woodstock" atmosphere. www.fest-jazz.com
In Central Finistère, one hour's drive from Roscoff ferry port, 50 minutes' drive from Brest airport.
