Port de Crouesty

Visit Port de Crouesty, Brittany

The Port du Crouesty is the port region to the south of Arzon in southern Brittany at the far end of the Rhuys peninsula and south of Vannes.

Exploring Port Crouesty

Largely a new development, the Port Crouesty is lined by quite recent houses and apartment blocks, all low-level and quite pleasant. There are also a couple of open pedestrian areas with lots of the type of cafes and shops that you would expect to find in a port town.

Walk along the length of the port and at the far end you come to a little chapel, the Chapel of Croisty. This charming building was constructed early in the 19th century on the site of several earlier chapels at the same location - apparently none are able to withstand the weather here for very long!

Be sure to keep walking as the path that follows around the end of the headland (called the Site du Petit Mont d'Arzon) is a protected area with lovely views along the coast, and the highlight in Port de Crouesty. There is also a prehistoric mound listed as a National Monument on top of the Mont. The path is about 2.5km long.

Attractions close by

A more traditional harbour can be seen at nearby Port-Navalo, and an extensive port is found at Locmariaquer. Other popular trips from Port de Crouesty include visits to the islands in the Gulf of Morbihan, and to see the famous megalithic standing stones of Carnac.

Somewhere to stay

Note: if you are staying in the region we can recommend the holiday village in Port Crouesty - close to the beach and with its own pool and facilities, it was also friendly and nicely maintained.
