Paimpol-Goëlo, looking seawards
Arriving at the Pointe du Goëlo and looking out to sea, your eye falls first on the l’île de Bréhat with its legendary stories and charm. The old fishing port, whose tradition stretches back to the great cod fishing expeditions to Iceland, is the heart of Paimpol town. Overlooking the sea at Plouézec, the Britanny bocage stretches off in all directions.
The Town of Paimpol belongs to the Port d'Intérêt Patrimonial net (Port with interesting heritage) that protects and highlights historic portuary heritage.
The Town of Paimpol is a member of the Plus Beaux Détours de France (most beautiful spots in France) that highlights nice destinations and regularly evaluates them.
Paimpol-Goëlo, a wonderful coastline
An amazingly rich environment. The banks of the Trieux estuary are fantastically elaborate, with inlets, creeks, promontories and above all a great many small islands around Ploubazlanec. A million places to discover around Paimpol and Plourivo... and at the end of the estuary, the sea beckons.
Paimpol-Goëlo, hiker's heaven!
The main tourist activity around Paimpol is concentrated at the coast, but back in the countryside is a paradise of gently undulating farmland with woodlands, the windmills of Plourivo, Yvias and Lanleff, the calm of the little-known Correc valley near Kerfot and many more delights to discover.
In villages such as Pléhédel and Lanloup, the many small watercourses were once used to power flax mills - the economy of a golden age to which the beautiful church of Lanloup bears witness.
