Paimpol, Brittany

Situated in the Côtes-d’Armor area of Brittany, Paimpol is a picturesque and relatively quiet port town, with beautiful coastline and beaches. Every other year, however, it becomes the centre of the European traditional sailing universe, when hordes of ships, sailors and musicians descend for the unmissable Festival du Chant de Marin.
