Once a pretty active fisherman harbor, Concarneau is also known for its beaches and its surrounded wall old city inspired by Vauban. A must see city !

To See and visit:

• The enclosed town : Built on an island of 1000 feet long and 300 feet wide, Concarneau Vieille ville is linked to the rest of the city from 2 small granite bridges. Surrounded by thick military ramparts built in the 14^th and 17^th centuries, Concarneau was an invincible city for centuries. Inside the city, numerous artist have art galleries and small stores.
