Paimpol, Brittany travel guide
Paimpol is a coastal town in northern Brittany, between St-Brieuc and Tréguier.
The town is a popular resort with a pleasant harbour and a great mix of boats to admire in the port - usually pleasure craft nowadays, although until 70 years ago Paimpol was a very important port for cod fishermen.
There is also an attractive historical centre in Paimpol around Place du Martray and the surrounding streets, with lots of traditional Breton architecture to admire.
There is a small museum in Paimpol commemorating its history as an important cod fishing port.
Beauport Abbey is nearby, in a lovely setting, as is access to Ile Brehat, off the coast to the north.
