Made famous by the writings of Pierre Lotti (Icelandic Fisherman published in 1886), Paimpol is a vast fishing port mixed with the idleness of a pretty marina. In the center of the town, houses dating from the 16th century remain and bring a beautiful character to the town.

Ideally located on the customs path (GR 34), the town has numerous shops and services capable of satisfying all budgets. A railway station is served daily by trains from Guingamp.

From the Middle Ages until its heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Paimpol was a fishing centre. The fishermen specialised in catching cod and sailed their boats across the rough Atlantic to the coasts of Iceland and Newfoundland.

Pierre Loti described the hard existence of the fishermen and their families in his 1886 book “Iceland Fishermen” and Théodore Botrel also deals with the fate of the sailors in his chanson “La Paimpolaise”.
