Abri du marin de Sainte-Marine, Maritime shelter museum in Sainte-Marine, Combrit, France
The Abri du marin de Sainte-Marine is a shelter building in Combrit with white stone walls, blue shutters, and a slate roof typical of Breton coastal architecture. It sits along the quay and reflects the straightforward, functional style designed to serve the needs of maritime workers.
The shelter was founded in 1904 by philanthropist Jacques de Thézac to provide lodging and healthcare for fishermen. It served this purpose until the 1970s when its original function came to an end.
The building is named after a sailor and reflects the deep connection between the port community and its fishing families. Today visitors can see how this place echoes the daily lives of people whose survival depended on the sea and fishing.
The site is open Thursday through Sunday and provides visitors with insight into the maritime history of the region. Guided tours and rotating exhibitions help guests understand the stories of this community.
It was one of twelve shelters created by Thézac's foundation to address health problems among Breton fishermen. This initiative was part of a broader early 1900s movement aimed at improving conditions for working people.
