Concarneau, France

We really enjoy visiting Concarneau. It is a city with two distinct areas, and also with a lot of interesting things. I’m sure we just scratched the surface but we visited the Ville Close, which is a walled town on an island in the centre of the harbor. This area was a shipbuilding area and parts date back to the 14th century; but now, it’s set aside for tourists mostly with restaurants and gift shops, along with the walls that you can climb stairs to get to the top of and see some really nice views of the harbor and all the boats.

The modern part of Concarneau is a nice smaller sized city but with everything you need. We tried to go to an excellent local restaurant that we went to previously, but now that it’s March, reservations were required and we did not have one. So we found something else, and it was great, too. We also went to a few shops, saw some Pug beer in this really nice shop, and went to a bookstore, coffee store, and friperie (vintage thrift store).

We also saw a fisherman dragging his giant nets from one boat to a van. We never did see the fish though!
