What better opportunity to visit the City of the Moon than during the Winter Night illuminations? After dropping off the luggage in our room in the heart of the city, the children are eager to discover the place... and above all, to take a ride on the little train !
We head for the Tourist Office, where we are given the Landerneau Discovery Guidea must-have for discovering the town's heritage nuggets.
It's time for magic!

As we stroll along, we come across numerous stores selling local artists and craftsmen. We take the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping. A snack break is in order. We take a seat in a tearoom where we discover a Breton specialty: the unavoidable kouign amann. The children are delighted!
Our darling little darlings are getting restless. As night falls, the magic of Christmas gradually takes hold of the town...
