Rencontres internationales de cerfs-volants de Berck, Kite festival in Berck-sur-Mer, France.
The International Kite Meeting of Berck brings together hundreds of kite flyers who display their creations on the wide sandy beach between April 12 and 21.
In 1887, pioneers used kites at Berck beach to capture aerial photographs, marking the beginning of a long relationship between this coastal town and aerial activities.
The festival organizes kite-making workshops where participants learn traditional techniques from international artisans representing their regional kite-making methods and designs.
Visitors can access the festival grounds directly from Berck town center, with dedicated parking areas and regular shuttle services operating throughout the ten-day event.
Teams perform synchronized kite ballets on the beach, controlling multiple strings to make their kites dance in formation according to musical compositions.
