Comment

The Bigouden headdress is a ceremonial headdress worn by women in Brittany's Bigouden region. This headdress is characterized by its high height (around 30 cm, up to 40 cm in Penmarc'h) and has become a symbol of Brittany. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coiffe_bigoudène

The sonneur (soner in Breton, sonnou in Gallo) is a musician who plays the bombarde, the biniou kozh or another type of bagpipe, as well as sometimes the Breton clarinet, the Treujenn-gaol (literally "cabbage trunk") and, by extension, any musical instrument used in traditional society. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonneur
