It remains a must, even if it is far too touristy, it is also a great shortcut by taking the ferry, 3 bikes max, but refuses recumbent bikes and cargo bikes, justifying such a great influence, but it remains a misunderstanding for a municipality praising soft mobility.

For an exceptional viewpoint, hike to Petit Manoir, where you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Anse de Saint-Laurent. Upon reaching this viewpoint, the bay opens up before you with its sparkling waters and rugged coastline. The viewpoint offers a perfect panorama, especially in the golden light of early morning or late afternoon. It is a serene place to pause, soak up the natural beauty and snap a few photos before continuing your hike.

As you approach the Ville Close of Concarneau, the view of the fortified village from the outside is a treat. From your position along the coast, you will see the thick stone walls and iconic watchtowers rising above the harbour, the turquoise waters creating a striking contrast to the ancient fortifications. The marina that surrounds it adds to the charm, with its boats bobbing gently in the water.

It was very impressive and also made me think. There's even a researcher from Nürtingen at the MARINARIUM.

Concarneau is a very beautiful town with a great market. There is a circular trail following in the footsteps of Inspector Dupin.
