Practical information

The crossing

Firstly, you have a choice between two shipping companies Lorient to make the crossing by boat. The Oceane Company Escal'Ouest offers year-round crossings from Lorient, while the company only operates crossings during the peak season. It's also worth noting that the Escal'Ouest ferry departs from Lorient La Base, stopping at Port-Louis.

Secondly, you will of course have the option of arriving independently from Lorient or elsewhere. Port Tudy has numerous berths available on pontoons or buoys. Consequently, you are most welcome with your motorboat or sailboat!
