Avant port
Lorient's Avant Port sits right in the beating heart of the city, with 370 berths and 50 dedicated visitor spaces on well-sheltered pontoons just steps from shops, restaurants, and the city's cultural highlights. You won't need to go far for anything here — the urban waterfront puts Lorient's famous Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly and the lively city centre essentially on your doorstep. It's a rare spot where you can tie up and immediately feel like you're somewhere, not just somewhere functional.
