General presentation
Concarneau et Pont-Aven
Town closed, harbour, beaches, painting, estuary of Aven and villages of the southern Finistère.
To understand what Concarneau and Pont-Aven are, you must look to the side of Ville close, Pont-Aven and Beaches du Finistère Sud. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, the heritage and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historic centre
Ville close
The City of Concarneau closes and reads at the same time, between tight venals, shops and port access. The façade reliefs and the noise of the centre make it a very incarnate space. Interest rises as soon as one leaves the main circuit to explore secondary passages and cross views.
City
Pont-Aven
Pont-Aven is crossed like a ribbon of bridges and waters, where light transforms the scale of houses and banks. The walk works well by following the stream, then returning to the interior of the village. This is a clear example of a place inhabited by water.
Beach
Plage des Sables Blancs
The beach of Les Sables Blancs opens up a feeling of great luminous space, with a contrasting shoreline and areas that fall down towards the sea. As you move on the sand and then back to the coastal front, you capture the breath of the site and the effect of the winds.
