Made famous by the writings of Pierre Lotti (Icelandic Fisherman published in 1886), Paimpol is a vast fishing port mixed with the idleness of a pretty marina. In the center of the town, houses dating from the 16th century remain and bring a beautiful character to the town.
Ideally located on the customs path (GR 34), the town has numerous shops and services capable of satisfying all budgets. A railway station is served daily by trains from Guingamp.

On the Place du Martray, the true economic and political heart of the city since the Middle Ages, you can see many 16th century residences. The two oldest streets, and main arteries of this place, are the rue de l'église, which joins the route de Lézardrieux and the rue des Huit Patriotes.

Attracting throngs of boaters, the port of Paimpol remains forever linked to the sometimes tragic epic of Iceland's 19th century cod fishing industry. Pierre Loti's novel "Pêcheur d'Islande" contributed to Paimpol's popularity, as did Théodore Botrel's song "La Paimpolaise". Today, this coastal town, which is always very busy in season, attracts tourists with walks along the Côte du Goëlo, boat trips on the Trieux, water sports and regional dishes
