Douarnenez .... In French: "Earth Island".

City Douarnenez result of the merger in 1945 of common Douarnenez ("Douarnenez-center"), Tréboul, and Ploaré Pouldavid become today the districts of Grand-Douarnenez.

The origin of Douarnenez itself goes back much further.

Douarnenez, well known for its fish canneries, is much less for its Gallo-Roman. Nevertheless, both stories have in common a major player: the sardine. The path of the sardine, circuit path, was designed to share with you this unique history.

Douarnenez this, firstly, a picturesque urban heritage consists of former canning factory owners of houses, families of fishermen and workers of Sardinerie. On the other hand, seaside villas, the largest to the smallest, dot the neighborhood Tréboul.
