The meeting and return point is on the bridge at the entrance to the walled city. The tour begins at the entrance to the Ville Close, Concarneau's emblem, accessible by a bridge spanning the harbor. This historic gem, encircled by 15th-century ramparts, takes you back in time. You'll discover charming cobbled streets lined with old houses, art galleries, crêperies and artisan stalls. Walk along the fortifications for a panoramic view of the bay, shipyards and fishing boats. The tour continues inside the Ville Close, with a stop at the Musée de la Pêche, housed in a former arsenal. Here, the guide recounts the maritime history of Concarneau, a major tuna port, and the traditions of Breton fishing. Leaving the Ville Close, we head for the modern town center on the other side of the harbor. The group crosses the pedestrian bridge to walk along the quays and admire the fishing and pleasure boats. The guide then takes you to the Marinarium, a center for the discovery of marine biodiversity. Although an interior visit is not included, the building, a former marine biology laboratory, is evoked as a testament to the city's scientific commitment to preserving the marine environment. The tour then follows the corniche, passing through the remparts garden to the Sables Blancs beach. This coastal path offers a breath of fresh sea air and superb views of the ocean, seaside villas and offshore islets. The walk ends here, with your feet almost in the sand, with a final panorama of the Ville Close, majestic and peaceful, reflecting a rich Breton heritage between sea and history.the visit ends with the discovery of the Musée de la Pêche, where you can enjoy this magnificent museum without time constraints. The visit will be punctuated by anecdotes and questions and answers, such as the following: "It is said that in the 17th century, during an English attack, a captain hid a chest in the underground passages of the Ville Close. Since then, some inhabitants claim to hear the sound of chains and coins falling from under the stones on high tides... But no treasure has ever been found." or this one: "In the 20th century, after the sardine crisis, tuna fishing saved Concarneau from poverty. The "tuna boats" set out to sea for several weeks at a time. It was hard work and dangerous, but their return was celebrated as an event throughout the town. The women waited for them on the quayside, sometimes with musicians.
