On Sunday July 28^th 2013 the cultural associations Koun-Breizh, MAB and Identity-Breton are inviting people to attend a rally to commemorate the Battle of St Aubin du Cormier. Historical flags of Brittany can be brought to this commemoration which takes place at the Memorial to the Bretons, route de Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier to Combourg / Sens-de-Bretagne commencing at 15:00. 300 m from the memorial place, the ground Koad Sev Pall is open from 12am for picnicking!

The commemoration is on the site of the Battle of St Aubin du Cormier which took place in the summer of 1488. The violent and aggressive assault that was undertaken by the forces of French royalty at that time led to the end of the independence of the Duchy of Brittany. The defeated Francis II, Duke of Brittany died later in the same year. His tomb is located in Nantes Cathedral.
