The Closed City of Concarneau

The fishing museum, for example, is an essential place to learn about the history of fishing and the techniques used around the world for many centuries. The Saint-Guénolé church, which dates from the 12th century, is equally interesting. It was destroyed and rebuilt, then destroyed again to keep only the facade and the bell tower gable. The 17th century houses are still present in the heart of the Ville Close to bear witness to their time.
