Port en Drô, Harbor and nautical base in Carnac, France
Port en Drô is a harbor and water sports facility in Carnac with a sheltered basin holding fishing boats and pleasure vessels surrounded by modern infrastructure. The site houses a sailing club offering instruction and various service facilities for boat owners and water sports enthusiasts.
The harbor developed in the mid-20th century alongside surrounding salt marshes, marking significant maritime growth for the region. A sailing club established in 1962 has shaped recreational and commercial water activities since then.
The harbor has been a gathering place for fishermen and sailors for decades, where daily work and traditional maritime skills are passed down through generations. The boat owners and port workers shape daily waterfront life and maintain local coastal traditions.
The harbor is accessible year-round with water sports opportunities in the protected waters of Quiberon Bay. Best approached on foot from the waterfront promenade, with facilities varying in activity depending on the season.
Former salt-harvesting areas near the harbor now serve as refuge for various bird species including cormorants and little egrets. These habitats show how abandoned work areas transform into valuable natural spaces.
