After Carhaix and its "Pantheon" of Breton statues, Lorient wants to showcase interceltism year-round: eight works in project.
In Lorient, another emblematic city of Celtic cultures thanks to the Interceltic Festival, a comparable initiative is taking shape, but on the scale of the Celtic nations: the city had already inaugurated, on August 3, 2008, a statue of Polig Monjarret. Today, its promoters want to go further: to install eight statues of musicians from other Celtic countries, in order to make inter-Celticism visible on a daily basis.

From sign to sacred: the symbolic revolution as the cradle of writing?
The Lascaux caves, the steles of Göbekli Tepe and Carnac: a semiology of the sacred? The signs of the engravings and cave paintings function as the invariants of a foundational myth. The metonymy at work in the combination of these signs allows access to the dimension of the sacred.

A mythological culture of the engraved signs of megaliths in the Neolithic: the Atlantic grammar of a "path of the dead."
The study of the signs engraved on the megalithic monuments of the Atlantic façade, particularly in Morbihan, reveals the existence of a highly coherent symbolic system, reflecting a deep and shared mythological culture in the Neolithic. The recent interpretation, shifting the analysis from a purely agropastoral framework to a maritime and celestial context, allows for the deciphering of a complex narrative, a true "path of the dead" inscribed in stone.

Glaz, the soul of Brittany
"Glaz": blue, green, or gray. The identity of Brittany is a color. This color is that of the stormy sea.
