Pont-Aven is arguably one of the most beautiful and fascinating Breton villages, famous in the art world for once being home to the post-impressionist, Paul Gauguin. Just as stunning today as it was when it attracted some of the biggest names in French painting, it's worth spending time wandering the picturesque streets and art community that continues to flourish. As well as art galleries, it's also home to some fine restaurants and creperies.

You can visit Pont Aven from our 4-star campsite nearby, Domaine de Kerlann, which features stylish and comfortable fully-equipped mobile homes, plus an indoor and outdoor swimming pool and lots of facilities and activities that suit couples and families.
