Pont-Aven, famous for its school of painting, is a beautiful little town located in Brittany
Originally Pont-Aven was a modest village, the main resource was the river Aven, its presence allowed the development of water mills to grind grain. The port will never know a great activity because located too far from the sea it is usable only during certain hours of tides. What will change the fate of this small village is the arrival of Parisian painters from the 1860s, attracted by the cost of living and the beauty of landscapes, they will paint nature and make Pont-Aven a place known worldwide. Today Pont-Aven lives mainly from tourism but the city has kept all its charm. A place to visit!
