​FRANCE - Brittany

Concarneau

The town has two distinct areas: the modern town on the mainland and the medieval Ville Close, a walled town on a long island in the centre of the harbour. Historically, the old town was a centre of shipbuilding. The main draw is the quaint "ville close" (walled town) followed by some lovely sandy beaches and a lively maritime festival in August.
The "ville close" is without doubt Concarneau’s most popular tourist attraction. This old stone fortified ‘town’ has just a few narrow streets filled with shops and restaurants, where geraniums tumble from window boxes. Take a walk around the battlements for spectacular views over the area.
