Holidays in Pont-Aven

Birthplace of the famous galettes and the school of painting that consecrated Paul Gauguin, this village alone sums up all the beauty of southern Brittany. Pont-Aven nature, with its bubbling river and its green valley... Gourmet Pont-Aven with its traditional biscuit factories... Secret Pont-Aven with its old mills, its dolmens and menhirs or its Bois d'Amour... Like a master painting, the village offers a palette of colours, where history, art and food mingle.
