"Concarneau-Brittany" Concarneau by diosh

Concarneau is a thriving fishing port,,bringing in tunny and sardines,which are canned in the nearby factories.
We watched them being off-loaded from the ships.I had no idea,then,that tuna were so large!They were being swung over onto the portside on huge cranes.The kids couldn't believe their eyes-they were bigger than them,and us!
The Ville Close is the attractive historic area of the town,a fortified small town,dating from 14th century.It's a maze of little lanes,spoilt a bit by the many touristy shops.

• Pros:Must visit Ville Close for its historic interest
• Cons:Try to avoid the 'crafty' shops
• In a nutshell:Must go to Concarneau!
