Musée de la Peche

The old town of Concarneau, referred to as Ville Close, with its narrow streets and old houses full of crêperies and gift shops, is fun to explore. Visit the interesting Musée de la Pêche, which covers all things nautical inside and has three old fishing boats tied up outside of what was once the town’s arsenal. (Open all year, tel: 02.98.97.10.20.) Climbing the walls gives you good views of the inner harbor where fishing boats unload their catch.
