Dès 1865, une colonie cosmopolite d’artistes s’installe et peint à Pont-Aven. Mais c’est seulement après 1886 que Gauguin, Bernard et Sérusier passent Pont-Aven à la postérité en faisant jaillir de nouvelles idées picturales. Le mouvement, aujourd’hui mondialement connu sous le terme “Ecole de Pont-Aven”, est considéré comme les bases de l’art moderne.
L’aventure se découvre au Musée des Beaux Arts qui a ré-ouvert ses portes en Mars 2016 après une complète rénovation. Classé “Musée de France”, il possède 850 œuvres d’art dévoilées dans l’exposition permanente et au fil des expositions temporaires.

Numerous chapels dating from 15th century until the middle of the 18thèmeThese are located in the vicinity of the Manor and are in a perfect state of preservation:
The Sainte-Barbe Chapel and its statues (Névez), the Saint-Mathieu Chapel (at Kerambail, 3 km from the hotel), the Saint-Nicolas Chapel located at Port-Manec'h, the Trémorvezen Chapel or the Chapel with the three Virgins where you can admire different statues including a child Jesus from Prague.
Discover also the numerous granite crosses that stand along the roads and in particular the one in the village of Nizon which inspired Gaugin for his 1887 work "The Green Christ" (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels).
