A city of Art and History, Concarneau brings together in one city everything that is most beautiful in Brittany. In the heart of a protected bay, this tourist destination with its remarkable historical heritage has magnificent beaches where young and old will undoubtedly love to relax and experience many water sports.
A historical jewel set against the blue sea, Concarneau is a city that is difficult to resist. Its absolutely magnificent city-close is a place where it is pleasant to stroll, to the rhythm of its splendid buildings, current witnesses of the history of its city. Along its alleys and pathways, you can admire pretty panoramas on its belfry, its sundial and its views of the sea. One of the most visited sites in Brittany, the Close-City, a defensive site surrounded by ramparts during the 13th century, holds many secrets: during your travels, you will discover its bridges, its walls and its superb fountains, such as the fountain in Place Saint-Guénolé. Walk along its 3-metre wide granite ramparts and discover its three gates and the nine towers that line this wall, which was remodelled in the 17th century by Vauban. During the holidays, you will be able to access the fortifications from the Governor's Tower to discover the wonderful view of Concarneau Bay and its ports. Rue Vauban is also worth a visit: the main artery of Concarneau, it is lined with old half-timbered houses, typical of the region, as well as shops where you can stock up on souvenirs, postcards and sailors, a proud local symbol. On the heights of the city stands majestically the castle of Keriolet, a small neo-Gothic jewel from the 19th century. Built on the orders of a Russian princess and inhabited by the tormented history of its owners (among others Felix Youssoupov, Rasputin's murderer), this magnificent castle stands in the heart of a large estate planted with oaks and colourful flowers. If it is worth a visit for its impressive rooms such as its Guard Room, its interior courtyard and its beautiful architecture, you should know that its southern facade overlooks the magnificent Glénan Archipelago, thus offering curious visitors a panorama worthy of the most beautiful postcards.
To access the beaches of Concarneau, we advise you to take the cornice path, to enjoy the magnificent panorama it offers. If you are a hiking enthusiast, you should know that many trails cross Concarneau and its surroundings: overlooking rural and maritime panoramas, these marked trails are accessible to both walkers and cyclists. Inside the city, the "Sardine Route", symbolized by small blue sardines on the ground and the "Artists' Route" (remarkable thanks to small orange paint palettes) are not to be missed. Along the entire Breton coast, the famous Sentier des Douaniers (GR34) borders Concarneau for nearly 20 kilometres along its enchanting and cut coastline. We also advise you to take the green lane n°7, connecting the city centre of Concarneau to the magnificent seaside resort of Roscoff via the old railway lines: from the Atlantic to the English Channel for more than 130 kilometres, it is one of the most popular cycle paths in Brittany, and will offer you breathtaking panoramas. The "Trois Vallées" (7 kilometres), "Dorlett" and "Moros" walks, 6.5 and 5.8 kilometres long respectively, are also worth taking, to discover some of the resort's most beautiful panoramas. A stroll on the Cabellou peninsula is also a must, to discover the magnificent rocks that give this place its charm. Located south of Concarneau, the tip of Cabellou is particularly popular with photographers who come to immortalize its landscape at sunset.
Real invitations to relaxation and water sports, Concarneau's white sandy beaches have finally seduced many a holidaymaker who is reluctant to set foot in Brittany. Its bay, like the Glénan archipelago, is the ideal place for sea excursions as well as for water sports such as sea kayaking, surfing, sea rowing, windsurfing, catamaran, optimist, sailboat, kitesurfing or even boat navigation. The archipelago, absolutely magnificent, is worth a visit: accessible by shuttle from Concarneau, the white sand island of Saint-Nicolas, bordered by a turquoise sea to be damned, is worth a visit on its own and could make many tropical beaches pale as its setting is so paradisiacal. Back on the beaches of Concarneau, planting your parasol on the "Kernous Beach" side seems like a good idea for lovers of wild creeks: the panorama on the beach from its path is absolutely to be immortalized! In its extension, "Plage des Sables Blancs" is undoubtedly the most family-friendly of all Concarneau's beaches: more than 500 metres long, it is guarded, lined with shops and a sailing centre. The "Cornwall Beach", the "Belle Etoile Beach" (on the Cabellou peninsula) and the "Plage du Large" complete the picture of places where idleness and water sports reign supreme. Finally, a little further on, near Névez, you will undoubtedly have to set your sights on the "Plage de Raguénez": nicknamed "Tahiti" because of its clear bottoms, its turquoise water and its white sand, it is one of the most magnificent beaches on the entire Finistère coast.
