Pont-Aven: village and river

Highlight • Settlement

The small mill town of Pont Aven nestles idyllically in the green estuary of the river of the same name. He became famous mainly because Paul Gauguin spent three summer months here in the 19th century and many of his most famous works were created here. As you stroll through the town and over the bridges, you can vividly imagine how the poetry of these landscapes inspired artists then and now.

Promenade Xavier Grall

Highlight • Other

Named in honor of the famous Breton poet, the Xavier Grall promenade is a haven of peace in the heart of Pont-Aven. This beautifully flowered walkway along the river will lead you from footbridges through groves to the magnificent granite chaos of the Aven. You will have plenty of time to admire the famous water mills that once made the town famous.

From Bois d’Amour to La Chapelle de Trémalo

Highlight • Trail

The path runs through tree-lined avenues and sunken lanes. I found it very beautiful.

Trémalo Chapel

Highlight • Other

Above the “Bois d’Amour” love forest, the Trémalo chapel is hidden behind oak and beech curtains. Its strange asymmetrical roof slopes almost to the ground on the north side. Gauguin made the multicolored crucifix of the nave with his yellow Christ famous worldwide.
