Every year in July, nine communes in the Caux area team up for three days for the Flax and Needle Festival. Thousands of visitors head there, all lovers of the natural fibre that is flax, and the unique landscapes it shapes. Some twenty exhibitions of contemporary or traditional textile art, a linen fabric fair, fashion shows, tours of the Terre de Lin factory and creative workshops are all part of this pastoral journey from the seaside to the flax fields.
