Frédérique's Guidebook
Informations sur la ville
Paimpol, "La Cité des Islandais".
I love walking around the streets of Paimpol or along the port.
It is a lovely place for shopping and to find souvenir shops (Dauphin Nautic, La Coopérative, La Maison du Caban).
You may have a drink on Quai Dugay Trouin or Place du Martray.
The best ice creams are at Glacier Adam's. The best crêpes are at Crêperie Le Dundee or Le Pennty (it is advisable to book both restaurants).
Second-hand shops: Babouchka (3 rue de la fontaine) and Au Coup de Soleil (31, rue des Patriotes) .
