Local fishermen began to specialize in tuna fishing, an activity that enjoyed great success in Concarneau in the 19th century. <br\/><strong>At the beginning of the 20th century<\/strong>, Concarneau was <strong>France&#8217;s leading tuna fishing port<\/strong>. The town enjoyed a period of prosperity thanks to this activity, which enabled the development of the canning industry and the construction of numerous vessels.<br\/>However, tuna fishing declined in the 1960s and 1970s due to overfishing, and the port of Concarneau turned to other activities, notably inshore fishing, yachting and tourism.<br\/>Today, Concarneau is a <strong>lively marina<\/strong>, with over 600 berths for pleasure boats and numerous restaurants and shops nearby. Nevertheless, the port remains very attached to its past as a fishing port, and organizes the annual Festival des <a href=\"https:\/\/elaia-test.geek-tonic.dev\/blog\/les-filets-bleus-concarneau\/\">Filets Bleus<\/a> to celebrate this tradition.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/elaia-test.geek-tonic.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/techniques-de-peche-musee-de-la-peche-concarneau.webp\" alt=\"fishing techniques musee de la peche concarneau\" class=\"wp-image-11754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elaia-test.geek-tonic.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/techniques-de-peche-musee-de-la-peche-concarneau.webp 1024w, https:\/\/elaia-test.geek-tonic.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/techniques-de-peche-musee-de-la-peche-concarneau-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/elaia-test.geek-tonic.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/techniques-de-peche-musee-de-la-peche-concarneau-768x431.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer gt-show-mobile\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Port of Concarneau activities<\/h2>\n\n<p>Today, the <strong>port of Concarneau<\/strong> is home to a wide range of economic activities.
