The Place de la Croix, populated by its two lighthouses, its chapel and its Calvary, occupy an important place in the history of the city. Always considered a landmark by sailors who come to dock at the port, it is also a very pleasant stroll. The cafes and restaurants that line it invite contemplation.

The large stone cross, resting on a base of steps, rises centrally on the 'Place de la Croix' of Concarneau. One side of the square is occupied by the town's church, whose otherwise unadorned façade is surmounted by a (neo-)Gothic turret on the gable.
