From one shore to the other, Saint Telo, a link between two peoples : Welsh and Bretons.

Twinning Plogoneg – Llandysul

On August 20th 1989, Plogonnec, a small town in South-West Brittany, between Douarnenez and Kemper/Quimper, 2 miles south-east from Locronan, confirmed its twinning with Llandysul in Wales, by signing the charter.

The twinning committee decided to celebrate its 20th anniversary by creating a sound and lights show whose theme will be a hero that the Welsh and Bretons share: Saint Telo.

Sound and lights in Plogonnec (Plogoneg) for the 20th anniversary of the twinning. Four shows: on August the 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th.

Searching for volunteers

During the forum to present the show, last January 31th in the Socio-cultural space of Plogoneg, 150 people have registered to take part in the adventure, as volunteers or extras (or both!). This number has now increased to 200.

A film and a conference about Saint Telo

Success of the evening devoted to the character of Saint Telo, February 6th at City space in Plogoneg: nearly 120 people attended the screening, the first, a film of Ronan Hirrien (French TV channel FR3) “Lannoù Telo”and the conference by Joël Hascoët, anthropologist, about the legend of Saint Telo in Brittany and Wales.
