A rich, vibrant culture can be absorbed and appreciated 15 minutes away at the town of Pont Aven, a busy town situated inland from the tip of the Aven estuary. It is a small port popular with tourists and boasting many art galleries; made famous by Gauguin when he came to paint in the 1880’s before leaving for Tahiti. He inspired the Pont Aven School, which is well worth seeing.
Pont Aven is now a bubbly village offering good restaurants and wonderful food shops as well as fantastic scenery. If you are a 'gourmet', as they say in France, you will certainly be interested in the famous biscuits available.
