The fest-deiz and fest-noz are a reflection of the local environments. Some of the dances and songs date back centuries and talk about themes of daily life and tragedy in the countryside where the Breton culture is still strongest. In the greater context of France, the fest-deiz and fest-noz can be seen as a way to combat an "environment" in which minority cultures like that of the Breton culture slowly fade away without care. The fest-deiz and fest-noz are intentional ways of preserving Breton culture for generations to come.
