The bell ringers may not have been on time this year, but Bretons and tourists have been able to wait. The election of the Queen of Cornwall having been delayed, the departure of Le Triomphe was postponed by a good hour. In the streets of Quimper, the looks of the spectators betrayed a certain concern: “Are they going to pass? “.

Spread along boulevard Dupleix or seated on the stairs of the Max-Jacob theatre, they took advantage of a rare ray of sunshine to take off their oilskins.
Suddenly, shouts were heard in the distance: the name of the new Queen of Cornwall had just been pronounced. A sign that the ringers were not going to delay any longer. And indeed bagpipes, bombardes and snare drums then resounded.

Those who were regarding to turn back hurriedly took their places.
Leaving from the Place de la Resistance, the procession joined the Ceili, rue Aristide-Briand, avoiding the last drops of rain.
Better take an umbrella for the last drops of rain, you can never be too careful! (Le Télégramme/Julie Creignou) Quimper’s bagad sounded the snare drum. (Le Télégramme/Julie Creignou) A little more bagpipes? (The Telegram/Julie Creignou)
