At the end of the 19th century, following Pont-Aven, Le Pouldu in Clohars-Carnoët became a refuge for several painters from the Pont-Aven School, such as Paul Gauguin, Meyer de Haan, Paul Sérusier, Charles Filiger and many others. The seaside and the lush countryside inspired these artists, who captured them in their paintings.The countryside sections have retained many lovely, shaded sunken paths.
