Discover Concarneau
It's known as the "blue city" because of the blue color used to dye fishing nets. Concarneau's history is closely linked to the town's canneries and sardine fishing. An annual festival is held in August to highlight these ancestral fishing traditions and Breton folklore, the Fête des Filets bleus. We recommend this traditional festival to discover the Fest-noz, the Breton music and dance of which the Bretons are so proud!
Concarneau's appeal lies as much in the beauty of its coastline as in its historical and cultural heritage. A Town of Art and History, Concarneau is famous for its "walled town", a fortified city around which the town grew.
The town of Concarneau is also known for its marina, which welcomes numerous sailing boats, and its active fishing port.
