This medieval Gothic cathedral is perhaps the city's most prominent architectural landmark.

This cathedral is quite rightly a National Monument. Admission is free. The Gothic architecture is amazing outside and in. The interior is light and spacious and the ambiance is relaxed. It is worth doing a little research before your visit to get the most out of it, especially if you don't speak French.

A wonderful vivid surprise, beautiful paintings from variety of painters. Nice “story behind” of Pont-Aven location and history. Short 30-40 minutes with lots of fascinating paintings. Worth a special trip to see it

It was great to walk around an experience the atmosphere of the Chateau, and an excellent guidebook is provided (in French and English)) that explains the history and features of the building. The boat trip to get to the Chateau only adds to the experience. Great views also of the Baie de Morlaix from the tower.
7. Maison dite de la duchesse Anne
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 88 reviews
The House known as ‘Duchess Anne’s House’ is a particularly well-preserved example of a lantern house, the lantern being the emblematic architectural principle of the town during the Renaissance. Visitors will find the house, with its covered interior courtyard sheltering a monumental fireplace and a spiral staircase of elaborately sculpted oak, which enables movement between the rooms in the front and rear of the house's three floors.

Really interesting visit to an architectural treasure built in 1530. This renaissance private house shows off the wealth of its owners and was literally built to impress visitors. The highlight of the architecture is no doubt the marvelous sculpted wooden staircase. The ticket is very cheap and a visit will cost you about half an hour to an hour. The friendly lady at the entrance was so kind to tell us more about the house and she pointed out lots of interesting details. Money well spent, if you ask me.
