![Rosmeur port, Douarnenez's old quarters](https://douarnenez-tourisme.com/app/uploads/douarnenez-tourisme/2019/11/thumbs/9977997625-06d872dc02-o-640x360.jpg)
This port is a pedestrian area, and the absence of cars makes it an ideal place for strolling, popular with tourists and locals alike. It’s a perfect spot to pause for a drink or enjoy a meal on a sunny deck of a café overlooking the picture-postcard landscape. The view over the beaches and cliffs at the far end of the bay is extraordinary. The atmosphere changes with the sea-level: at high tide, the fishermen and pleasure-boaters create an animated scene, heading out on dinghies and tenders to reach their boats moored up on the water; at low tide, fishermen stroll onto the sand digging up worms ready to use as bait for their next outing.
