Follow Gauguin's footsteps in the flower-draped village of Pont-Aven, then explore the walled island citadel of Concarneau — two of Brittany's most enchanting artistic and maritime treasures in one private day.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you dockside and heads east along the Brittany coast to Pont-Aven, the village that inspired Paul Gauguin and birthed the Post-Impressionist 'School of Pont-Aven.' Wander the willow-lined river, visit the Musée de Pont-Aven's rotating collection, and stop in ateliers selling work by contemporary Breton artists. After a leisurely lunch (your guide recommends the best table), continue to Concarneau, where a fortified medieval island — the Ville Close — rises from a tidal harbour, its 14th-century ramparts offering sweeping views over the fishing fleet. Return in time for all-aboard.
Good to know
The Musée de Pont-Aven charges approx. EUR 6 entry, payable on the day. Concarneau's Ville Close is free to enter; the rampart walk is free. Your guide handles all logistics and parking. Full-day tour — depart by 09:00 for the most comfortable pace.
