Morlaix

The town extends along a valley with stone houses and timber-framed buildings rising on the slopes toward a 62-meter-high railway viaduct.

During the 16th century, Morlaix became a major trading center for linen manufacturing, leading merchants to construct grand houses with spiral staircases.

The Museum of the Jacobins displays regional artifacts, traditional costumes, and exhibits about the maritime heritage of northern Finistère.

The railway station connects to Paris and Brest through regular TGV service, while the town center hosts a market every Saturday morning.

The Maisons à Pondalez features three-story houses built around central fireplaces with wooden walkways connecting different sections of these merchant residences.
