Pont-Aven
This charming little town, nestled in the lush Aven estuary, owes its fame to Paul Gauguin who settled here in 1860. Surrounded by galleries, the museum traces this creative period when artists were fascinated by the poetry of the landscapes and the luminosity of the little port. Don’t miss: Trémalo chapel and its multicoloured crucifix, a source of inspiration for Gauguin’s famous Yellow Christ. Or Promenade Xavier-Grall along the Aven, which contains a set of footbridges and a pedestrian route dedicated to the poet-journalist-writer.
