Landerneau
Landerneau is in the Finistère department of western Brittany, in the Armorique region. It is quite a lively town, with plenty of shops and cafes to entertain you, found on both banks of the River Elorn.
In the centre of Landerneau there are lots of streets lined with ancient buildings to explore, some in the local slate-fronted architectural style, and others in the light white stone of the region. Many of the building have interesting rooves, and there are also some interesting small statues and architectural features set in niches in the walls to discover as you wander around.
There are also a couple of interesting churches to visit in Landerneau - the Church of Saint-Houardon and the Church of Saint-Thomas Becket de Canterbury.
The highlight for visitors is the 16th century Pont de Rohan (pictured below). There are now very few bridges remaining in Europe of this style, with the houses across the bridge still standing (the Florentian Ponte Vecchio is of course the most famous example).
Take a wander along the bustling port, which also has some traditional houses around its edges to admire, then head towards the north of the town to admire a handful of grander buildings - the Convent of the Capucins, Keranden Manor House and the Convent of the Ursulines.
Apparently there is an old saying in France "that's going to make a noise in Landerneau" meaning "word of that is getting to get out" - gossip is going to spread all over!
