The historic heart of the city of Concarneau, is one of the medieval jewels (like Locronan) of the Finist\u00e8re, near Quimper, the city of the birth of the kouign-aman<\/a>. The walls were built in the 14th century to ward off English attacks and protect the governor's house.<\/p>\n

From the city you can see the walls of the small Medieval city, to get there you must walk across a bridge that connects the city with this wonderful medieval work.<\/p>\n

This fortification was born because of a war in 1300 during the Middle Ages. It underwent numerous restructuring over several centuries until its recognition as a Historical Heritage and its classification in Monuments at the beginning of the 19th century.<\/p>\n

The watchtower dominates the entrance to the fortified city, emblem of Concarneau.<\/p>\n

When we enter the city, we enter another era; At the entrance of the city we can see a musician playing a medieval instrument, his music envelops and captivates you to enjoy this small fortification.<\/p>\n

The main artery of the fortified city is surrounded by old buildings and numerous shops. There we can find candy stores, clothes, restaurants, traditional patisseries, gifts, souvenirs, etc.<\/p>\n

"Le Carr\u00e9 des Larrons" is the Concarneau amphitheater, it is located inside the fortress, shows are held there every day during the summer time. From the amphitheater we have a beautiful view of the church of St Gu\u00e9nol\u00e9, you should not miss it.<\/p>\n

\nWalking around the city is the least you can do to get an idea of a construction from another era. The best thing to do after visiting the city is to go around the entire walled area to have a different view, and thus be able to see the port and the entire city of Concarneau.<\/p>\n

Inside the fortified city, we counted 9 towers and three gates that allowed us to enter and exit it: La Puerta del Vino, La Puerta del Paso and La Puerta de los Ladrones.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During 400 years, the wall has undergone improvements, the architect and Marquis Vauban, strengthened the wall with the installation of cannons on the towers that are facing the sea.<\/p>\n
