Douarnenez is one of my favorite cities. I think this is a perfect opportunity to rest before tackling the southern coast of Brittany. Like most small towns in Brittany, Douarnenez offers the typical activities such as walks, tours with surprising stories, boat trips and especially water activities.
So I decided to focus on the "zen" aspect of the city, that is to say the best places to sleep, but also to eat, do not forget!

Where to eat ?!
- Traditional cooking
Le Prieuré: this restaurant offers a warm and friendly atmosphere where you can taste local cuisine that emphasizes essential with Breton fresh produce: fish from the coast, seafood, etc. The restaurant also has a hotel function, feel free to relax here!
- The perfect mix
La crêperie "La Capitainerie": this is the perfect mix because this restaurant is both a brasserie, a crêperie and also offers a variety of dishes composed of local seafood. But that's not all! In the afternoon the establishment is also transformed into a tea room, a great opportunity to taste the ice-cream and chocolate maker talent of the owners.
