During the summer months, it can be difficult to park in the town centre, particularly on market days (Mondays and Fridays) and during the Festival des Filets Bleus (13-17 August 2025). We advise you to park in the free car parks as soon as you arrive in Concarneau, or to use public transport or soft mobility such as cycling!
The free car parks can be reached from the town centre by the Coralie bus network. Lines 1 and 4 run 7/7 in summer to the Gare and Caserne car parks.
There are also 20-minute stops in front of pharmacies and the town hall.
