Located on the edge of the old port of Morlaix, now covered, the Penanault house is distinguished by a majestic facade of schist and granite. Its very sober Renaissance decor testifies to the wealth of its sponsors. The residence, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 2006, attests to the growth of commerce and the attractiveness of Morlaix. In the 15th century, the city was the third port of Brittany, after Nantes and Saint-Malo. Built at the end of the 16th century, Maison Penanault has a courtyard, dug into the rock, housing a gallery decorated with three beautiful granite columns. The residence also includes 4,400 m² of terraced gardens, also called Morlaisian “combots”. Housing the Tourist Office and the Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Center (CIAP), the residence welcomes visitors in its four exhibition rooms, permanent and temporary, dedicated to the discovery of the territory of the Pays de Morlaix .

Historic house museum with an impressive courtyard at the tourist office. In the late 16th century, a local merchant had a house built "at the end of the harbour" - 'Penanault' in Breton. In addition to the tourist office, the beautiful building, recently restored, also houses the Center d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, which explains the architecture and heritage of the region: urban development of Morlaix, maritime history of the bay, gargoyles, enclos paroissiaux etc. The rich heritage is illustrated with educational panels, an interactive orientation table, videos and a few historical artifacts, such as Morlaix lead balls (a local variant of pétanque).
