Place du 8 mai 1945
Highlight • Other
This is undoubtedly the building used for the most varied activities in the Ville-Close. Originally called "Notre Dame de Cong" or "Notre Dame du Portail", it was one of the three churches within the city walls. In the 18th century, it was renamed "Notre Dame du Rosaire".
(Don't miss the multi-arched door and the base of the bell tower):
In 1828, the collapsed bell tower was replaced by a tall tower, the first lighthouse in the region.
For several centuries, the chapel also served as a municipal meeting place for the city's notables. It then became, in succession, an armory, a barracks, a school and a maritime cooperative. Today, it houses the "Musée de la Pêche".

Wine Gate, Concarneau
Highlight • Historical Site
This picturesque little pointed arch dates back to the 15th-century renovation of the ramparis. The only easy access to the sea was through this gaie shai, a passageway for all bulky goods, including Bordeaux wine (hence the name).
Initially, the gate faced the sea, but by the 1st century, it could be closed at night with a wickerwork door and later with a portcullis. It was walled up in the following century to prevent surprise attacks. It was in use again during the Revolution.
With the introduction of sardine fishing in the 19th century, the abandoned sardine fisheries were brought under cover during the winter. The quay leading to the Careenage Arca was broken by the late 1920s.
