Camping le Cabellou Plage

The handsome village of Concarneau has a famed fish market (get up early, it starts at 6am) as well as a fishing museum, covering the importance of the industry to the town's history. Also visit the peaceful town of Pont-Aven, known for its historic watermills along the banks of the Aven river, and its main bridge lined on both sides with traditional streets and small side streets such as the Rue des Meunières. Pizzerias, creperies, traditional restaurants, shops and bars are all around town too. Just outside the town, arty sorts should like the small Chapel of Tremalo, with the wooden cross that inspired Gauguin (who came here to establish a studio in the late 19th century) to paint The Yellow Christ. Back at Pont-Aven, an extensive collection of regional work is at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pont-Aven. At Quimper, see the Cathedral of Saint-Corentin, its traditional market in the city centre and the Palais des Eveques, built in the middle of the 17th century and home to the local bishops. There's also another fab art museum here, the Musee des Beaux Arts, with paintings from local artists and those from the Pont-Aven School of painting); also see the Breton Museum, with exhibits on the town and region.
