Pont-Aven is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in northwestern France. It is a vibrant and charming destination located on the Aven River. It is located approximately 10km from the medieval walled town of Concarneau, a popular resort and one of France's largest fishing ports.
Pont-Aven is mainly known because of the group of artists who flocked round Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, and who were joined in 1888 by Paul Sérusier. Pont Aven still attracts artists and art lovers with many commercial galleries in addition to the town's public gallery.
