The Concarneau to Lorient journey links two great maritime cities of southern Brittany, united by their seafaring vocation and passion for the sea. Concarneau, France's third fishing port by value, is world-famous for its Ville Close, a 14th-century medieval fortress built on a granite islet in the middle of the harbour and connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. The crenellated ramparts of the Ville Close, 350 metres long, encircle a web of cobbled lanes where artist studios, marine painting galleries, Breton souvenir shops and seafood restaurants with bay views sit side by side. The Fishing Museum, housed in the former auction hall, passionately traces the history of Concarneau's fishing industry. The Filets Bleus, a popular festival born in 1905, has become one of Brittany's oldest music and dance festivals, bringing the harbour quays to life each August. From Concarneau, the Iles de Glenan, a wild archipelago of translucent waters often compared to a Polynesian lagoon, are accessible by boat in one hour. Lorient, 50 kilometres east, offers a different maritime panorama: the city of five ports born from the East India Company houses the Cite de la Voile Eric Tabarly in the former Keroman submarine bunkers, and the Interceltic Festival gathers over 800,000 revellers each August in a unique atmosphere of Celtic music and dance.
Route
Route Concarneau → Lorient
Your driver leaves Concarneau on the D783 towards Pont-Aven, first passing along the bay of Concarneau with its sparkling waters dotted with sailboats and colourful trawlers. The road crosses the coastal countryside of southern Finistere, between early vegetable fields, cider apple orchards and granite hamlets sheltered behind wind-battered tamarisk hedges. You pass near Pont-Aven, the 'city of painters', where Gauguin and the Pont-Aven school revolutionised painting in the late 19th century, drawn by the particular light of this deep valley where the Aven river cascades between rocks and mills. After Pont-Aven, you join the N165, a toll-free dual carriageway crossing the wooded hills that mark the border between Finistere and Morbihan. You pass through Quimperle, a confluence town where the Elle and Isole rivers meet to form the Laita, with its Romanesque Sainte-Croix Abbey. The final kilometres follow the Scorff valley before arriving in Lorient via the ring road. The journey takes 35 minutes normally and can reach 50 minutes in summer or during the Lorient Interceltic Festival in August.

Specific tips for the Concarneau → Lorient route
Pont-Aven deserves a 30-minute stop if your schedule allows: the Pont-Aven museum (8 euros) displays works by Gauguin, Emile Bernard and Serusier in a contemporary building overlooking the Aven river. The Bois d'Amour walk, a shaded path along the river that inspired so many painters, is a 10-minute stroll from the centre. Galettes de Pont-Aven, small crispy golden butter biscuits, are the quintessential gourmet souvenir — Traou Mad is the historic maker. In Lorient, do not miss the Cite de la Voile Eric Tabarly with its sailing simulators and the submarine Flore-S645 (Keroman base). The Merville covered market (every morning except Monday) offers ultra-fresh fish from Keroman port. If travelling in August, the Interceltic Festival transforms the entire city into a permanent celebration with concerts, fest-noz and bagadou parades on the marina quays.
