HERITAGE

On first glance, you might not notice the traces of history and heritage throughout the streets of Douarnenez.

Take time to look, linger and appreciate...

Stroll along the side-streets and coastal paths;

Take time to notice our houses and chapels, showing how local men and women lived in times gone by;

Visit our boat museum, the Port-Musée, and dive into the heady atmosphere of our ports;

Let yourself wander through our beautiful landscape, take the time to discover all its secrets.  

A few suggestions for discovering Douarnenez's rich heritage :

Natural heritage:  Coastlines, country walks, Les Plomarc'h farm park, bays and islands

Structural heritage: architectural sites, ancient monuments, historic buildings 

Religious heritage: churches and chapels 

Nautical and maritime heritage: the Port-Musée boat museum, our four ports, our fishing industry
