Discovering Concarneau
Welcome to Concarneau!
A maritime city and tourist destination par excellence, Concarneau is a Town of Art and History that attracts many visitors every year. The beauty and uniqueness of its walled town has made it a firm favourite with travellers from all over the world. This atypical fortress was built on an islet in the 15th century and was visited by a certain Vauban... Today, it is a tourist magnet, with a host of shops, restaurants, bars and clothing and souvenir boutiques keeping the narrow streets of the fortified town constantly bustling.
But Concarneau also has fine sandy beaches and a typical Breton cuisine based on seafood and crêpes! So much to see, smell and taste in this magnificent city during your stay in Concarneau!
Concarneau and the fishing industry
A town facing the Atlantic, Concarneau owes much of its identity and dynamism to fishing. Its port, one of the largest in Brittany, lives to the rhythm of the tides, the return of trawlers, and morning auctions where sardines, tuna, langoustines, and other treasures of the sea are traded. Fishing has shaped the urban landscape, the local economy, and the daily lives of the inhabitants, from shipowners to fishmongers, canneries, and seafood restaurants. By choosing a hotel in Concarneau, you will be staying in the heart of this authentic port town, where the quays, shipyards, and silhouettes of boats are a constant reminder of the strong link between Concarneau and the ocean.
How to visit Concarneau
The best way to visit Concarneau is to follow the collection of circuits "Au fil de la ville", which crosses the districts for a more complete discovery of Concarneau. The town centre, the seafront, the Ville Close and the Passage district are signposted with interpretation panels providing historical information on the sites, monuments and town planning.
But don't miss out on the must-see monuments and activities, such as the Château de Keriolet! Dating back to the 13th century, this superb neo-Gothic manor house was designed by architect Joseph Bigot in the late 19th century for Princess Zenaïde Narischkine, aunt of Russian Tsar Nicholas II. During the 20th century, the castle had several owners, including the princess's great-grandson, Prince Felix Yusupov, famous for his involvement in the assassination of a certain Rasputin...
And don't miss the Marinarium. This magnificent place invites you to discover the beauty of the marine world. Its exhibition is dedicated to the importance of the oceans and their extraordinary biodiversity, the world of plankton, the immense wealth of the coastline, and the protection and management of marine resources.
