Since Guerlesquin is a small village and all its inhabitants know each other, you will certainly assist to the traditional Breton custom of kissing on the cheek (se faire la bise), especially if you visit this village on Mondays, when there is the musical market.

I noticed a boy and a girl who crossed each other in the street, exchanged the bise and went on their way. I think they didn't even say Salut! ("Hello!"), since that is the only meaning of this gesture.

The Guerlesquin market is a real show of the Breton soul: you can see and buy many traditional products. I am not sure whether the market takes place on other days than on Monday, the day of the musical market (see my "things to do" tip).

The village of the musical market
