About

Haliotika, la Cité de la pêche, overlooks the harbour of Le Guilvinec, one of Brittany’s great fishing ports. It introduces the world of sea fishing, from boats to fish, with visits for all ages. From Monday to Friday, from 4 pm, you can watch the coastal trawlers come back in from its panoramic terrace. Haliotika also offers guided tours, children’s workshops, a treasure trail, cooking classes with local chefs and tours of the fish auction.
