In Concarneau, I was pleasantly surprised to witness pipers captivating audiences in the city square, the locals clearly enthralled by the performance. I stumbled upon a coffee shop uniquely adorned with towering burlap bags brimming with coffee beans at its entrance. Further exploration led me to a chic boutique, boasting an array of intriguing finds, among which the exquisite Grecian purses particularly stood out. The picturesque French port city of Concarneau is in the Finistère department in Brittany. Its medieval walled city is on a tiny islet with narrow alleys and ramparts that are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Nearby, the charming artist village of Pont Aven, discovered in the 1860s by American painters, became a popular stop for French artist Paul Gauguin who set up the École de Pont-Aven art movement known as synthetism. Try galettes, the local melt-in-the-mouth Breton butter biscuits.
