Concarneau - Ville Close

Highlight • Monument

The modern town of Concarneau was built near the walled town, which is the old town surrounded by fortifications. Suburbs gradually developed on the mainland near this “island city”. It is only recently in the history of Concarneau that the city left its ramparts. The town of Concarneau is crossed by the Ria du Moros, a small coastal river which flows into its port.

Place du 8 mai 1945

HERVOS BARRACKS
This is undoubtedly the building used for the most varied activities in the Ville-Close. Originally called "Notre Dame de Cong" or "Notre Dame du Portail", it was one of the three churches within the city walls. In the 18th century, it was renamed "Notre Dame du Rosaire".
(Don't miss the multi-arched door and the base of the bell tower):
In 1828, the collapsed bell tower was replaced by a tall tower, the first lighthouse in the region.
For several centuries, the chapel also served as a municipal meeting place for the city's notables. It then became, in succession, an armory, a barracks, a school and a maritime cooperative. Today, it houses the "Musée de la Pêche".

Belfry — the bell tower

Highlight • Other

The Belfry is a true landmark of the Ville close and was built on the fortifications of Concarneau, although it never really belonged to them, as most of the construction dates from the early 20th century

Concarneau Walled Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Concarneau, famous for its fishing port, also has an undeniable picturesque appeal. Its walled town and its narrow streets which occupy an irregularly shaped islet, are protected by thick granite walls built in the 14th century. A stroll through this environment with its medieval and port atmosphere will delight young and old alike.

September 30, 2024,🇫🇷Concarneau, eine Stadtbesichtigung vom Campingplatz aus

I have read/listened to many books by Inspector Dupin and for this reason I imagined the city to be completely different. The Ville close is really beautiful, but now in September the sidewalks were already rolled up at 7 p.m. The promenade to the Sable Blanche is also very nice. However, I was not enthusiastic about the rest of the …

Concarneau is the third-largest town in Finistère and is, above all, a port. It's hard to resist this gem. The walled town with its fortifications lies in the heart of Concarneau and in one of Brittany's most beautiful bays. A walk along the city walls offers beautiful insights into the streets and views of the harbor and marina. Within the …

September 19, 2022,Spaziergang durch Concarneau ❤

A nice walk took us through Concarneau today. The highlight was the fortified old town, which was built on an island and is now connected to the mainland by a causeway. The facilities go back to the 14th century.

We really enjoyed the stroll through the "Ville close". Plenty of nice shops and inviting looking restaurants. The walk on the …

Today we went on foot with Muse to Concarneau. In the morning it's worth taking the slightly longer route by the sea 🌊. You enjoy the fresh breeze and usually only meet locals. On the beach you may be able to see surfers practicing diligently 🏄‍♀️ You should also visit the harbor 🐟🦀🦞 and market 🩳👗 in the morning, as …
