It remains a must, even if it is far too touristy, it is also a great shortcut by taking the ferry, 3 bikes max, but refuses recumbent bikes and cargo bikes, justifying such a great influence, but it remains a misunderstanding for a municipality praising soft mobility.

As you approach the Ville Close of Concarneau, the view of the fortified village from the outside is a treat. From your position along the coast, you will see the thick stone walls and iconic watchtowers rising above the harbour, the turquoise waters creating a striking contrast to the ancient fortifications. The marina that surrounds it adds to the charm, with its boats bobbing gently in the water.

Finistere is heavily forested and a bit more pristine. We enjoy that. Here a "château" peeks out of the forest. That is the Domaine de Trévarez, which is still quite a distance away - it is only thanks to the telephoto lens that we can get so close.

This "milestone" is a beautiful old witness to history. It would be worth preserving these stones better.
