A Brittany full of art, nature and well-being

You could spend hours in La Gacilly and it would still be full of surprises. It's also the ideal place to daydream in front of the beautiful stone houses, as you stroll along the little lanes that lead you to the edge of the Aff, the perfect place to relax. Meet the village's craftspeople, who love to pass on their passion.

All summer, La Gacilly's gardens and alleyways and the walls of its houses turn into photo galleries dedicated to street art. Between June to early November every year, France's biggest outdoor festival of photography presents ethical and humanistic images that have caught the eye of the great international photographers. The La Gacilly Festival of Photography attracts over 40,000 visitors to its 30 or so exhibitions. 

Painters, engravers, glassmakers, weavers, wood turners, sculptors and potters… Over the last four decades, some 180 craftsmen, professional artisans and artists have demonstrated their talent. Nowadays, some 30 studio-boutiques are open all year round in the historic heart of the village.

The Yves Rocher Bergerie! This new hybrid ‘third place’ offers accommodation for young workers, hotel apartments, locavore culinary workshops, a seminar space for collective innovation... perched on the heights of the village (with a crazy view!). There's no need to look any further: there's no better place to reconnect with nature, meet new people and make new discoveries.
