Paimpol is a coastal town in northern Brittany, between St-Brieuc and Tréguier, near Lannion and Dinard.

It was an important cod fishing town from the 15th century to the 19th century when the Icelandic fishing began and Paimpol’s fishermen set off on long trips to Iceland each February. Trips which lasted around 8months at a time!

The emphasis is more on tourist boats now but there is still an active fish market. The port of Paimpol is fairly modern but wander into the town itself and there is an attractive historic centre with traditional stone houses and cobbled streets.

There are many attractive old houses, especially around Place du Martray. Have a look at the 15th century ‘Maison Jezequel’ on La Rue des Huit Patriotes. This was once a shop supplying the cod fishing industry.

There is a small museum in Paimpol commemorating its history as an important cod fishing port and particularly the lives of the ‘Icelanders’ as the fishermen who went to Iceland were called.

Beauport Abbey is nearby, in a lovely setting, as is access to Ile Brehat, off the coast to the north
