Overall Concarneau is a beautiful town. It’s historic, with many restaurants, shopping, water sports and beaches to keep you busy. The surrounding small towns are equally beautiful if you wish to explore further which I will show in some future videos. Be aware Concarneau gets busy in summer but has a much slower pace in winter so it’s up to you to decide when it’s best to visit. Bring a rain jacket and good walking shoes. It is handicap and children friendly, and definitely walkable. For more information visit https://www.brittanytourism.com/destinations/the-10-destinations/quimper-cornouaille/concarneau/
