Visitors can enjoy watching the cartoonists in action making their fantasy figures come alive in front of them. Some of the world\u2019s best talent in the wonderful world of comics will be on display at the unmissable event.\u00a0 Attendees can even buy original cartoon art to hang on your wall back home as a keepsake of your Breton autumn holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The artists themselves will compete against each other and prizes are awarded for the different categories such as the young artist or \u2018Juenes Talents\u2019 or the prestigious \u2018Dunces Cap\u2019 award, ironically prestigious given its name. There is also a cinema showing cartoons so visitors can see all the animated cartoon heroes and villains come to life in vivid techno colour.<\/p>\n<p>St Malo itself is a beautiful and historic town with a quaint old city wall surrounding narrow streets filled with interesting shops, bars and restaurants. You might take the ferry here from England when you are on the way to your Vintage holiday villa. It\u2019s always worth spending a good few hours in St Malo before you carry on with your journey.<\/p>\n<p>So many of us charge off to our destination as soon as the boat docks but what\u2019s the hurry? You are on holiday and your villa will surely wait another couple of hours whilst you check over St Malo and the cartoon festival. Alternatively, it would definitely be worth taking a day out to see the festival if you are already snugly ensconced in your holiday accommodation. Unusual comic art festivals in lovely seaside towns don\u2019t come around too often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for things to do when you embark your ferry at St Malo this October then you should pop in to the Quai des Bulles Festival.
