La Trinité-sur-Mer

La Trinité-sur-Mer is a harbor town on the Brittany coast with a modern marina that shelters sailing boats and fishing vessels in protected waters. The commune spreads along the shoreline with residential areas, restaurants, and facilities oriented around maritime activity.

The commune was established as an independent municipality in 1864 when it separated from the neighboring settlement of Carnac and formed its own administration. This separation brought several prehistoric monuments into the jurisdiction of the newly formed community.

Sailing shapes daily life here, with competitions and maritime events woven into the community's calendar throughout the year. Local identity centers on the relationship between residents and the water, visible in how people gather at the waterfront and harbor.

The town is connected to the neighboring commune of Saint-Philibert via the Kerisper bridge, providing convenient access and the ability to explore the surrounding region. The entire harbor area is walkable and offers various points of interest for visitors.

The commune preserves several megalithic monuments such as the dolmens of Kerdeneven and Kermarquer, dating back thousands of years. These prehistoric burial structures stand in sharp contrast to the modern sailing facilities and reveal how ancient and contemporary activities coexist in this place.
