Up until about the mid 19th-century, Pont-Aven, which was named after the river that flows through it, was best known for its mills and port. When the railways started, tourism started to flourish in the region. There is now a tourist office in the town which contains information on places to visit, especially sites associated with Gauguin, Pont-Aven’s post-Impressionist painter. Visitors to the town should not miss visiting Promenade Xavier Grall, one of the loveliest walks in the area. Also visit Promenade des Moulins, a trail which goes around the remains of the village’s 15 watermills. Pont-Aven is also well-liked for its shopping choices, with a wide selection of nice clothes. There are also several delicious eateries. Visitors should ensure they buy galettes from Biscuiterie Traou Mad. Galettes are Pont-Aven’s famous butter biscuits which were invented in 1920.
