Musée de la Pêche
A fishing museum inside the walled town, telling the story of sardine and tuna fishing, where you can board the decommissioned trawler moored outside.
The museum occupies a former barracks inside the walled town. Using fishing gear, ship models and old photographs, it traces Concarneau's history, from sardine canning to deep-sea tuna fishing. Outside on the quay, the retired trawler Hémérica is moored, and visitors can go aboard to see its hold and wheelhouse. A visit takes about 1–1.5 hours, which suits families with children. Tickets cost about 5–6 euros. The museum is often closed in January, and opening hours change with the seasons, so check the official website before you go.
