Become a Penn Sardin

If you really want to integrate into Douarnenez, you need to follow certain rules…

• Appreciate the ‘village’ feel of the town
• Love the sea
• Build up strong calf muscles so you can climb the steep coastline
• Learn to protest and then discuss
• Do a pilgrimage for lent, at least once in your lifetime, but ideally every year
• Learn to build your own cardboard boat so you can then build a real one from wood at the local shipyard Ateliers de l’Enfer
• Do justice to every meal
• Spread the word about Kouign Amann wherever possible
• Learn to play a musical instrument so you can join in fanfares!
• Learn a few Douarnenez expressions, which often blend French with Breton, and with a particular tone and accent that makes it immediately recognisable even in a very crowded street or in the throes of a festival.
  

  If you get all that, you’re good to go!
