Pont-Aven and Concarneau

Pont-Aven (pictured far right), was home to an artist colony known as the "School of Pont-Aven." It was led by the painter Paul Gauguin. Pont-Aven is a pretty market village of white houses and sloping riverbanks.

Concarneau (pictured near right), is the home of the largest tuna fishery in France. The modern part of the city surrounds the original city and its walls that were used to defend against attacks. Many of the houses in the origianl city have been converted to shops and museums, but many people also live in the original city houses.
