Port de Saint-Goustan, Auray, Brittany, France 11 Jul 2026

In France, Port de Saint-Goustan lies just below Auray’s upper town, where a narrow inlet meets the estuary leading into the Gulf of Morbihan. The harbour sits along the Auray River In the 13th century, the Dukes of Brittany built a bridge, a port and a castle here; the fortress has vanished, but cobbled quays and timber-framed houses still line the waterfront.
