Paimpol

Highlight • Settlement

Made famous by the writings of Pierre Lotti (Icelandic Fisherman published in 1886), Paimpol is a vast fishing port mixed with the idleness of a pretty marina. In the center of the town, houses dating from the 16th century remain and bring a beautiful character to the town.

Ideally located on the customs path (GR 34), the town has numerous shops and services capable of satisfying all budgets. A railway station is served daily by trains from Guingamp.

Paimpol fishing port ⚓

Highlight • Settlement

Attracting throngs of boaters, the port of Paimpol remains forever linked to the sometimes tragic epic of Iceland's 19th century cod fishing industry. Pierre Loti's novel "Pêcheur d'Islande" contributed to Paimpol's popularity, as did Théodore Botrel's song "La Paimpolaise". Today, this coastal town, which is always very busy in season, attracts tourists with walks along the Côte du Goëlo, boat trips on the Trieux, water sports and regional dishes.

View of Bréhat Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

A tip for cyclists:

There are hefty prices for crossing with your own bike (€18 for a normal bike, €30 for an e-bike). It is possible to rent bicycles on the island. The offer is limited (especially for e-bikes). If you want to visit the island all day (>5 hours), it is worth crossing with your own bike (transport costs = rental costs) (departure from the mainland at 9:30 a.m. at the latest; return from 4:00 p.m.)

As of July 2023
