Camaret sur Mer, located at the tip of the Crozon peninsula in Finistère, has taken advantage of its fishing port and its exceptional location to become the former European capital of lobster fishing in Mauritania. By going to the Viviers Henry on the end of the quays you will find all you need to know about shellfish, direct sale possible on the spot. The delicious product does not frequent the port of Finistère anymore, but the know-how, the clientele and the market remain. The port welcomes you with a myriad of shops ready to serve you its local specialties in front of the Chapel of Rocamadour and the Vauban Tower erected since the XIIth century, and today classified in the world heritage of UNESCO.
