The medieval walled town of Concarneau is one of the most photographed in Brittany. Stroll around it's narrow cobbled streets among the 90 shops, galleries, restaurants and creperies, and you'll often see street performers and musicians there too.

There are also boat trips out to the Isles des Glénan, a small archilpel of 9 islands and a seabird sanctuary, and if you're up in time, it's worth going to the early morning fish auction, 'la crieé', a great experience although the daily business of selling fish is still a complete mystery! The Fishing Museum is well worth a visit too.

At the top of the town is the Château de Kériolet dating from the 15th century and open daily except Saturdays, from June to September.

Mid August the fisherman's festival La Fête des Filets Bleues is held which features traditional Breton music and dancing.
