Port of Le Croisic, Deep-water port in Brittany, France.

The port consists of multiple protected basins formed by stone deposits from historical trading vessels, accommodating both fishing boats and recreational vessels.

The port gained prominence in the 17th century through salt trade, where ships would leave stones as ballast before loading their cargo.

The fishing industry remains central to the port, with specialized fleets catching sardines, shrimp, and collecting cockles throughout the year.

The marina section offers 363 berths, including 27 spots reserved for visitors, with direct access through the Pertuis du Roi entrance.

The port area features the Hervé-Rielle basin, named after a local fisherman who demonstrated notable actions during the Battle of Barfleur.
