Brittany Towns  Brittany must surely be characterised by its quaint seaside towns and fishing villages which are credit enough to the area, but more than this, it is blessed with such fantastic jewels as St Malo with its splendid walled old town; Lorient with it's fishing port, beach and Celtic music festival; and Rennes, the regions capital with its huge Saturday market.  St Malo is our personal favourite.

Concarneau:

Location: Situated on the D783 south east of Quimper.
General Info: Official town website. 
Description: Concarneau is one of France’s largest fishing ports, as well as a popular resort. The view of the medieval walled town is one of the most photographed sights in Brittany and it can get very busy!

Our recommendations:  Visit the fishing museum located inside the walls of the town.  The walk around the bay and ramparts provides some delightful views.  The early morning fish auction "La Criée" is a fascinating experience. 

For the children: In mid-August, the fishermen’s festival, La Fête des Filets Bleus, is one of the liveliest in Brittany with traditional music. There are boat trips out to the Iles de Glénan, a small archipelago, home to a famous sailing school and seabird sanctuaries.  And there are many nice beaches in the vicinity.
