Concarneau boasts a unique character, divided between the Ville Close and the modern
town. The Ville Close, a charming medieval walled town on a long island, offers narrow
streets lined with artisan shops and historic ramparts. The modern town on the
mainland bustles with maritime activity and contemporary conveniences.
Explore the historic Ville
Close with its picturesque streets,
inviting restaurants, and unique shops. Immerse yourself in Concarneau's maritime
heritage at the Musée de la Peche, or step into a fairy tale at the Chateau de Keriolet with its
beautiful gardens. Explore the underwater world and marine-related exhibits at Marinarium. Relax on the Plage Des Sables Blancs, a
lovely sandy beach close to the town center.
Indulge in the sights, sounds, and smells of French life at Les Halles de Concarneau, the bustling local market offering fresh produce. Foodies will love Concarneau's specialty shops: Conserverie Gonidec for unique products and factory outlet finds, and Chocolaterie Larnicol for a decadent selection of chocolates and sculptures. For more shopping options, explore Patisserie Alexandrie, Cap 190, and La Verrerie de la Ville Close. Unwind after a day of exploration at Brasserie Tri Martolod, a lively bar with a welcoming atmosphere. V and B Concarneau is another option for enjoying Concarneau's nightlife scene.
