La Pointe de Penmarc'h was founded in 1920 in Le Guilvinec, a Bigouden fishing port on the western tip of Brittany. At that time, the fleet consisted of more than a hundred fishing boats that brought their rich catch daily to the fish auction hall at the port.
Just a few steps away, the fish – sardines, white tuna, and mackerel – were canned directly at the Conserverie as soon as the boats arrived.

Even today, Pointe de Penmarc'h continues this tradition of producing high-quality canned goods. The Conserverie sees itself as an ambassador for the products of the terroir and has made it its highest goal to always offer top products with the authentic taste of the region, for which it cooperates with traditionally working fishermen.

Douarnenez: At the very end of Brittany lies the beautiful bay of Douarnenez with its fishing port, which has always been known for sardine fishing. Very close by is the fish canning factory, which has offered a wide variety of canned fish since 1920.
While the boats were previously powered by sails, today they are modern boats.

Even the ancient Romans prized sardines and ate them salted, marinated, or smoked. To this day, the sardine—when quality and production methods are right—remains a premium product.

For the sheer pleasure of it, you should by no means miss out on the many other wonderful creations that showcase the incomparably rich range of flavors available in canned sardines: sardines in a fruity sauce, in white wine, in butter, with water and lemon… Try them!

The sardine is still a focal point for many port cities in Brittany, as well as in Spain and Portugal. It is not considered an endangered species.
