Concarneau
A port in the city, a city in a port
Located in the heart of the city, Concarneau port is characterised by a mix of activities and trades related to shipbuilding and repairs, fishing, pleasure boating and sailing.
Inseparable from the walled city, the port is part of the maritime heritage landscape of Concarneau, a coastal town very popular for its quality of life and great tourist appeal in Brittany.
Concarneau, a stronghold rich with 1,000 years of history, lives according to and for the sea. The town was built in the Middle Ages, starting from the walled city, in the Moros estuary, a natural shelter that encouraged development of the port. Over time, the town developed around its port. Ships have been built here for centuries and the shipping industry plays a major role, currently representing 1,500 jobs.
From fishing boats to luxury yachts or military ships, in a global and competitive context, the vigour of the businesses in the shipbuilding and repair cluster of Concarneau port is an element of appeal.
All of these reasons make Concarneau shipbuilding and repair port a citizen port committed to human safety, protection of its inhabitants’ lifestyles, respect for the environment and sustainable economic development.
