In the beating heart of Pontivy, where history meets the present, nestles a souvenir shop like no other. The Pontivy Community Tourist Office has created a space dedicated to travelers wishing to leave with an authentic piece of Central Brittany. Let's enter together into this little world where each object tells a unique story.
What would an adventure be without the small tangible marks of our passage? In the shop, you will find something to satisfy your appetite for souvenirs with magnets, key rings, cups, collector's coins struck by the Paris Mint bearing the image of the city's buildings (castle, imperial church, train station, etc.), objects bearing the image of Napoleon that reflect the picturesque character of the region and even objects from Lake Guerlédan, a must-see place in our region.
A signed design
The Pontivy Community Tourist Office offers you unique products, the fruit of the imagination and talent of its team. Mugs, magnets, pens, t-shirts and tote bags illustrated with unique designs adorn the shelves, proud of their patterns inspired by the charm of Pontivy, its history and its abundant nature. Each object is an invitation to take a piece of travel home with you.
A collection of unique objects
The shop welcomes its visitors with a selection of objects that embody the very essence of Pontivy, Lake Guerlédan and their surroundings. Local products, such as artisanal jams, seasonal honeys and craft brewed beers, offer a taste of Breton craftsmanship. These products not only celebrate traditional know-how but also invite you to an unforgettable taste experience.
Collectibles: A reminder of the past
Lovers of beautiful objects, don't miss out on the collector's items on offer. These precious objects, often in limited edition, immerse you in the ancestral stories of Pontivy, further enhancing the richness of this immersive culture.
Keyrings and magnets: little everyday treasures
For those who like to take a little bit of everyday life with them from their holiday destinations, the shop offers a range of keyrings and magnets. Each of these items brings a local touch to your home or key ring, evoking the picturesque landscapes and culture of Pontivy.
Must-sees and Discovery
Delight little explorers with “Pontivy” t-shirts for children and travel bags that seem to whisper promises of great expeditions. For budding or seasoned hikers, a bookshop corner offers books and IGN maps, perfect companions for crisscrossing the paths and expanding your horizons.
Mugs and books: for moments of relaxation
Let's imagine your morning for a moment, a steaming cup of coffee in a Pontiac mug decorated with Celtic patterns. These mugs, sold in the shop, are not ordinary: they are the result of a collaboration with local artists. Next to them, on the shelf, books telling the history of Brittany and Pontivy await you, perfect for extending the journey from your living room.
Find more products in the store in downtown Pontivy at 21 Quai Presbourg.
IGN maps and hiking books: call to adventure
Seasoned hikers or simple lovers of walks, let yourself be seduced by the detailed IGN maps and hiking books available at the shop. These guides are your allies to discover the most beautiful trails in the region, from the Blavet valley to the enchanted forests that border the community.
Local Treasures
Like a miniature gourmet market, the shop showcases local products: from pots of golden honey to flamboyant jams, from chouchen to sparkling perry to craft beer, not forgetting the succulent Breton cakes. They transport your taste buds to Brittany and delight lovers of culinary discoveries. In summer, enjoy local ice creams with various flavors that are very local: salted butter caramel, buckwheat, etc.
An escape ticket office
Cultural Escape
When Pontivy lights up and dances to the rhythm of events, the shop's ticket office acts as your cultural passport.

Each ticket is a key to intoxicating moments.
