Saint-Goustan, Medieval port in Auray, France.
Saint-Goustan sits at an estuary leading to the Morbihan Gulf, featuring stone bridges, cobbled squares, and traditional half-timbered buildings along narrow streets.
Benjamin Franklin arrived at this port in December 1776 to meet King Louis XVI and request French support during the American War of Independence.
The Place Saint-Sauveur hosts local dance performances and antique markets, while restaurants serve regional Breton specialties along the riverside quays.
Visitors can take boat trips from the port to explore the islands of Morbihan Gulf or rent electric vessels for independent navigation.
The port maintains its medieval character due to its early decline as a trading center, preserving the original architecture and layout from the 15th century.
