A nice walk in Pont-Aven

In its early days, Pont-Aven was a modest village whose main activity was grain milling using water mills along the Aven River. The port, located too far from the sea, never experienced significant activity and was only usable during certain hours of the tide. What dramatically changed the fate of this small village was the arrival of Parisian painters (such as Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard, Paul-Émile Colin, Paul Sérusier) in the 1860s, drawn by the low cost of living and the beauty of the landscapes. They immortalized nature through their paintings, turning Pont-Aven into a globally recognized destination. Today, Pont-Aven primarily relies on tourism for its income while still retaining its old-world charm. It's definitely a place worth visiting!
