Labelled "Ville et Pays d'art et d'histoire" (Town and Country of Art and History), Concarneau has preserved some old houses combining timber-framed walls and granite gables. Its development is linked to the peak of tuna and sardine fishing, which generated up to thirty canning factories. Trawlers still perpetuate this tradition, bringing back fresh fish and shellfish every day. To be enjoyed in the restaurants near the quays and the Place Saint-Guénolé, decorated with the picturesque crocodile fountain.
