We always try to get a sightseeing bus if we visit anywhere, as it tends to give you some idea of where everywhere is without wasting time trying to discover for yourself. This train ride takes you round the part of Concarneau you would probably not visit as the main attractions are on the waterfront by the port. Although you are given an English translation of what you are seeing, you can miss out on the interesting places as you try to read about them! A headphone service would be better.…

Nothing special train ride, went through some back streets then up to the sea road, up and down that, then back to the main square. You get a laminated sheet to read about the buildings you are seeing. Could easily have walked this route instead, but it was a sit down for a while.…

The train in Quimper is also very good.…

An easy way to get your bearings in this lovely town. Good commentary fills you in on most places. Keep your ticket for discounts on trains in Benodet and Quimper
