We returned on a cloudy Saturday morning with the sun breaking through occasionally as well as light mist throughout the day. At high tide, the river looks totally different. Only one of Gauguin's paintings here looks down the river and it has just a single boat under sail, more of a suggestion of a boat than a real depiction of what would have been a steady activity at this head water.
One of Gauguin's paintings from Pont Aven depicts women washing clothes on the rocks here, just below the last of the mills that were set up to grind grain and make paper.
This is the little restaurant where we had a light dinner of crepes. It was run by a young couple who were nursing a baby just as we arrived. They put the baby to bed on the third floor and started serving us and another couple on the second floor.
This was our table with a view out over the harbor pictured below.
