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.
