Expo - Festival Photo 15ème édition - Les Femmes et la Mer

Every year, the streets of Guilvinec and Léchiagat, the quays and squares are transformed into an open-air museum to host more than 300 photos by professional photographers.

Since 2011, the port of Guilvinec–Treffiagat has hosted the annual L’Homme et la Mer photography festival.
From early June to late September (and for the first time until the end of October this year), tens of thousands of visitors stroll through the town. There are no doors to push open; culture is in the streets.

Open 24 hours a day, this completely free event offers around twenty photo series to discover as you wander along, following the wind and your mood.

The photographs reveal the links that men and women have with the maritime environment. Work, leisure, culture and living conditions are examined in detail. These are moving, tragic and disturbing stories, but also poetic and funny, told by professional photographers from Brittany, France and all over the world.

The Festival and its photographers are messengers: they pass on a memory but also, and above all, a living, active and committed present. As proof of this, in addition to the exhibitions, conferences and screenings, meetings are offered to both the general public and schools.

See you from 1 June to 31 October 2025 for an edition that celebrates women and the sea.
