St Malo is easily accessible by ferry from England's south coast via Britanny Ferries, and the festival is offering tickets and travel deals for English festival goers. Or you can buy three day passes here.
Speaking of which: we have a pair of tickets with ferry travel thrown in to give away to a lucky DiSer. Just answer the following question to be in with a chance.
