Cimetière des navires de Landévennec, Naval ship cemetery in Landévennec, France.

The cemetery holds retired naval vessels in a sheltered meander of the Aulne River, where gray ships rest against the Brittany coastline.

The Naval Station, established around 1840, received Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie during their Brittany tour in 1858, with 200 sailors stationed there.

Each vessel in the cemetery represents French maritime heritage, containing decades of naval operations and technological advancements in military seafaring.

The site maintains regular inspections of the moored vessels, ensuring environmental protection through strict protocols and surveillance by the French Navy.

Ten decommissioned military ships remain anchored in the water, creating an outdoor museum of naval architecture visible from the nearby observation point.
