French Town Breaks Smurf Number World Record

French town breaks smurf number world record

A small town in western France has set a world record for the greatest number of smurf-costumed people gathered in the same place, according to organisers, who counted over 3,000 this weekend.

And it's won! A total of 3076 Smurfs in the same parking lot: the third attempt was the right one! Landerneau managed to dethrone the Germans, who until then held the largest gathering in the world of disguised Smurfs.

A little over 3,000 people disguised as Smurfs gathered on Saturday in Landerneau to beat the world record for the biggest gathering of small blue men.

The French municipality of Landerneau broke the record for the largest Smurf gathering on Saturday. Third time lucky, as two previous attempts in the past five years had failed.

The song "La, la, la, la, la" in praise of the famous blue elves with white hats by Belgian comic artist Pejo echoed throughout the day in the shops and streets of the Breton town with about 16,000 inhabitants, where costumed and made-up men and women gathered.

The French town of Landerno broke the world record for gathering smurfs, after two unsuccessful attempts in the past five years.
