The country of France is well renowned for a coastal life that’s been an inspiration for literature and film throughout the years. One can’t help but think of that when making their way to the port town of Guilvinec, which is located in the Finistere department of the province of Brittany on the country’s southwest coast. “Le Guilvinec” is celebrated for its fishing industry, as it’s responsible along with two other nearby towns for a quarter of all of the fish that France consumes. As a result, the town has a vibrant marine-centered environment with beaches that are enjoyed by all ages, as well as a summer festival scene that’s bustling and some respected dining establishments that allow patrons to savor the best of what the sea has to offer that day. Guilvinec also plays hosts to local markets with fresh produce that will thrill any palate. For those who want a taste of small port town life French-style, a trip to Le Guilvinec is something travelers might need to look into. And in this article, we look at some of the best Airbnb vacation rental options you can choose for your upcoming stay!
