The cultural heritage of Pont-Croix and its charming setting have always engendered artistical movements.
The first movement is founded in the middle of the the 19th century, when numerous french and foreign painters set up their easels in this little ancient medieval town (classified as a “Petite Cité de Caractère de Bretagne”, ie. a typical authentic bretton village).
Amongst these painters such as Paul de Lassence, Lionel Floch, Gaston Bouillon, Max Jacob…
Permanent expositions at the Tourist office, the “Cultural” town hall and at the “Marquisat”.
For this special occasion, meetings between the public and the artists. Also possibility to participate at painting trainings.
