So we are inside the ancient wall now, in the main square of the “Ville Close”.

The blue fishing net on the façade of the charming little house reminds of a fair they celebrate here in summer “ Les Filets Bleus” which means exactly “ The Blue Fishing Nets” and it’s a kind of celebration of…sardine fishing and traditional cultural Breton background.

Just to give you an idea of its history: the sardine has long played a part in the story - which is already quite a long one – of Concarneau’s Filets Bleus.
The idea arose way back as a gesture of solidarity to support the fishermen who were suffering from the crisis affecting this famous fish.
Subsequently, Finistère’s little festival has grown continuously.
