Chapelle Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Prigny

Les Moutiers-en-Retz

Perched on an ancient oppidum overlooking the Bay of Bourgneuf, this 11th-century chapel hides a watchtower bell tower, a Viking anchor, and quirky local legends. Step inside on Wednesdays to hear stories of Saint Guénolé and the "pig stone" from passionate locals.

Oratorio de Claude Guillon Verne « les ailes du rêve » — En Compagnie des Saltimbanques

July 12 at 5pm

Hear music that history nearly swallowed whole. Claude Guillon Verne's oratorio and melodies, silent for a century, fill a tiny chapel with soaring voices and piano. A rare chance to witness a forgotten composer's resurrection.
