In the harbour, you can watch the return of the catch and buy your fish directly from the quayside.
Next door, the nautical centre offers activities for all ages. Here, the sea is all around you, offering you the best of itself. Lesconil is a wild ocean bordered by extraordinary rocks to the west. The walk to the Goudoul rocks will get your imagination going, and that of your children…
To the east, the sea seeps inland via the ria du Ster. This time, the walk becomes an ornithological discovery, as the tides cover and uncover the arm of the sea in which unique vegetation thrives.
The Le Cœur site completes this chapter. Opening in 2019, it tells the story of a former shipyard in the heart of the town, in the style of an eco-museum. In the port, heritage boats are the pride of the enthusiasts who restore them.
At every turn, the heritage evokes a past that dates back to prehistoric times! Megaliths, churches and chapels, manor houses, lighthouses, semaphore and wash-houses are all dotted around this region that loves to pass on its heritage.
Last but not least, one of the town’s highlights takes place every year at the beginning of August: the Langoustine Festival! On the programme: maritime entertainment, langoustine tasting, concerts, fireworks, etc.
