Concarneau, Fortified coastal town in Finistère, France
The Ville Close stands on a small island in the harbor, connected to the mainland by a bridge and surrounded by strong stone walls.
The strategic maritime location led to the construction of defensive ramparts in the 14th century, transforming the rocky islet into a fortified stronghold.
The Festival des Filets Bleus in August presents traditional Breton dances, music performances, and regional costumes celebrating the maritime heritage.
The modern section of Concarneau contains multiple fish canneries, a fishing port, and a range of accommodations for visitors throughout the year.
A traditional tuna canning factory, Les Mouettes d'Arvor, continues to operate within the town using methods passed down through generations.
