Scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc and oysters from Paimpol Bay are the prized harvests of this Breton port in the Côtes-d'Armor. Paimpol earned its fame in the 19th century as the home of the Iceland cod schooners, and fishing remains its economic backbone. A lock-gated basin shelters the fishing fleet alongside a sizeable marina, while general-cargo or container traffic is effectively absent. There is no regular liner service or routine customs clearance for commercial freight here. The hinterland around Guingamp is served by road, with negligible rail freight. For sea or ferry cargo, forwarders turn to Le Légué near Saint-Brieuc, Roscoff or Brest.
