August in the Noroît: Enjoying Summer Until the Very Last Evening
August has a unique atmosphere.
Summer starts to slow down a little… but the festivals are still going strong.
The evenings become softer. Sunsets seem to last longer. And August events often offer a more relaxed — yet equally memorable — experience.
