Celio⁤ Pop-Up Tests Retail-Focused Holiday Event in⁣ Le Faou

Le Faou, France -‌ The coastal town ​of Le⁣ Faou is serving as an unconventional testing ‍ground ‍for a new retail-driven holiday experience, spearheaded by clothing brand Celio.‌ The⁤ pop-up event,launched Friday,eschews traditional Christmas market hallmarks for a brand-centric activation featuring games,influencer appearances,and a large-scale pastry installation. While ‌drawing crowds, the event has sparked debate among​ residents regarding‍ it’s ‍impact on local artisans and the evolving nature of seasonal celebrations.

The Celio-branded event, running through the weekend, offers ‍attendees a chance to⁢ win prizes-including extra ⁢tokens for signing up for the company’s newsletter-through games like “Poker Jean,” a branded pull-tab‍ machine, and a custom⁢ roulette wheel. A ski simulator has also proven popular, attracting ‍teenagers like Louise and Nao, who plan to return Sunday to see TikTok ​influencer Nico-là, who boasts over one million followers. Comedian⁢ Marie made ⁢a surprise appearance Saturday, with DJs Trinix scheduled ​to perform later in⁢ the day.

Angélique Delort, representing Celio,​ explained the newsletter incentive: “If they⁤ accept to receive our newsletter, it’s two jetons [tokens] in addition.” The event’s unconventional format has drawn mixed reactions from⁣ locals.

“It’s playful, it energizes the village, even if I was expecting a Christmas market.It’s very Celio, actually. They could⁢ have invited some local artisans,” commented Vincent, a Le Faou ​resident. Others, like ⁢Carine from laz, expressed delight, notably at the opportunity to see pastry chef Nina Métayer construct ⁢a nearly two-meter-tall cake comprised of 300 miniature pastries. Métayer, ​recently recognized for breaking barriers in ⁣her field, drew a crowd as she began building the impressive dessert.

The event’s focus on commerce rather than traditional crafts has prompted some to favor alternative local markets. Vincent specifically highlighted the upcoming ⁣artisanal market ⁤in ‌Diwan, scheduled for December 6th, ⁣as a preferred option. The Celio event represents a shift toward brand-led experiences during the holiday season, raising questions about the‍ balance between commercial activation and community-focused traditions in towns like ⁣Le ⁣Faou.

written by Julia Evans – Entertainment Editor

Finistère, france – Volunteer‍ teams comprised of dog handlers and their ‌canine companions are working to‌ locate and alleviate the⁣ suffering ​of injured wild animals across Finistère, France. These duos, part‍ of local sections of‍ the Union Nationale des‍ Chasseurs pour ⁣la Récupération des⁤ Animaux Blessés (UNUCR – National Union ⁢of Hunters for the Recovery of Injured Animals),⁢ respond ​to reports​ of injured​ wildlife, primarily wild boar and deer, offering⁤ a‍ specialized tracking and intervention service.

The work is driven ⁤by a ‍commitment to minimizing animal suffering, a principle enshrined in the UNUCR⁢ code of⁤ honor. ⁤Teams operate with two dogs: one actively tracks the injured animal, ⁢led on⁢ a leash, while the second serves as a backup, ready to intervene if the injured animal becomes aggressive. Searches can last several hours, and each intervention results in⁣ a detailed report documenting the circumstances of the injury. Nationally, the⁢ success rate for ‍locating injured animals ​is estimated at 40%, with approximately 800‍ dedicated trackers operating across France.

Patrice Ansquer,a volunteer with the organization,recounted a especially sensitive ⁢intervention involving a deer struck by a car. “One day, I⁣ was called to alleviate ⁣the suffering of a⁢ deer that had collided with a car. In the vehicle,a child had seen the “Bambi”. ​Diplomacy​ was required.”So I explained to him the departure of the “Bambi””, he said.

Initiation days for new volunteers in Finistère ‌are scheduled for September in the ⁤Huelgoat forest.interested individuals can find more information on the websites of ‌the UNUCR (https://www.unucr.fr/) or the local Finistère⁣ branch,⁢ UDUCr 29 (https://www.fdc29.com/associations/uducr-29/). Dead animals ⁣recovered during ⁤searches are ⁣sent to rendering centers.

Bigouden Country Dentist Appointment: Finding a Dentist in Brittany

Dental Deserts Deepen in Brittany: Finding a Dentist in Bigouden country⁢ Increasingly⁣ Arduous

Pont-l’Abbé, France ​ – Residents of the Bigouden country in Brittany are facing a growing crisis ⁤in access to dental care, with many ⁣practices closed to new‍ patients and long wait times reported across the region. A recent investigation by Le Télégramme reveals a scarcity of available appointments, despite efforts to attract dentists to the area.

As of September⁤ 19, attempts‌ to contact fifteen dental firms ⁣representing around thirty professionals were largely unsuccessful, with many directing potential patients to leave contact information for possible future recall. Several practices explicitly ⁤state ‌on their ​answering machines they are unable to accept new patients, and no openings⁣ were found on the Doctolib online appointment platform.

While some dentists continue to attempt to accommodate new patients “punctually,” such as the office on rue de Ty Lez in combrit, their schedules are full. Others, like the practice in penmarc’h, will only⁢ contact new patients “according to our availability,” and the dentist in Loctudy accepts new patients “when possible.”

Though, there are glimmers of hope. The dental practice in the Kerlavar craft zone in Plonéour-Lanvern confirms they are currently accepting new patients. Furthermore, a new 250 square meter dental center is planned ‍for ⁢Guilvinec, slated to open before the summer of 2026, featuring three care rooms, a surgical room, a‌ waiting room, and apartments for practitioners.

The situation‍ remains precarious, however, as three Bigouden country dentists are planning‍ to relocate their practices to Bénodet’s Glénan ​activity park in the medium term, potentially exacerbating the existing shortage. Training new dentists takes at least six years, according to sources, and many recent graduates continue to practice in larger metropolitan areas. Between 390 ⁣and 440 ⁤dentists are expected to be ⁤trained in Brittany by 2025.
