In France, Port de Saint-Goustan lies just below Auray"s upper town, where a narrow tidal inlet along the Auray River opens towards the Gulf of Morbihan. The harbour sits along the Auray River, also known locally as the Loc’h, creating its sheltered, storybook setting. In the 13th century, the Dukes of Brittany built a bridge, a port and a castle here; the fortress has long since disappeared, but cobbled quays, winding lanes and timber-framed houses still line the waterfront.
