Douarnenez
Douarnenez / Douarnenez
The sardine-canning capital, with colourful harbours, historic ships at the Port-musée, and Tristan Island, at the heart of Douarnenez Bay.
Douarnenez was once the centre of France's sardine-canning industry. The Rosmeur and Port-Rhu harbours are a riot of colour, and the Port-musée (harbour museum) lets you board the historic vessels moored there. At low tide you can walk out toward Tristan Island. Don't miss the local kouign-amann, a buttery pastry. About 10 km from Locronan.
