Port Lay
Port Lay is a tiny anchorage on Île de Groix, off the southern coast of Brittany — reputedly the smallest port in Brittany, and quietly charming for it. You drop anchor here and take in a compact, photogenic harbour scene that feels genuinely off the beaten track. The island itself is worth exploring once you're ashore, with rugged coastal paths and a strong local identity that sets Groix apart from the busier Breton islands.
