Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Brest - 100

We live in Concarneau in southern Brittany. This is a small, quiet, safe and beautiful seaside town. We leave close to the beach called Sables blancs (15 min walk). Concarneau is known for its "Ville close", on old medieval town. There are plenty of restaurants around town, serving specialities from Brittany, among others. We are 20 min walk from town, or 10 min by bike. There is nice hiking in the area (coastal trials or forests). We live close to the "Voie verte" which goes up to Roscoff. Closest cities are Quimper (20 km) and Brest (100 km).
