Concarneau

Children are welcome on all of the tours.
Walls up around the heart
The "closed town" of Concarneau is where its whole history began. What does the name mean? What is this "half moon" mentioned in some guides? When were the ramparts built? Wait, is this a cannonball still stuck in a wall? You will know everything about this former military fortress, which combines paved alleys and an outstanding view of the port.
Durée : 1h
The sea, provider of food and death
Concarneau doit son développement à la pêche et à l'industrie de la conserve qui s'y sont développées, et qui perdure encore aujourd'hui. Si plusieurs bâtiments ou outils encore en place témoignent de cette glorieuse histoire, l'abri du marin, l'ex-voto de la chapelle de la Croix ou encore le Square des oubliés de l'Île Saint-Paul rappellent que le métier de marin pêcheur n'a jamais été sans risque.
Durée : 1h
