Practical information

The crossing

First of all, you have the choice between two shipping companies from Lorient to make the crossing by boat. The company Océane offers crossings all year round from Lorient, while the company Escal'Ouest offers crossings only during the high season. It should also be noted that the Escal'Ouest boat leaves from Lorient La Base via Port-Louis.

Secondly, you will of course have the possibility to come by your own means from Lorient or elsewhere. The Port Tudy has indeed many places on pontoons or on buoys. Consequently, you will be welcome with your motor boat or sailboat!
