Émile Bernard House
(12,14 Rue Armand-Collin)
In 1914, painter Émile Bernard, a fervent supporter of the Pont-Aven school, acquired this house, at the foot of Saint-Pierre church, and set up his studio here. He decorated the private areas of his home, including the kitchen with garlands of flowers and fruit.
