Means of transport Brittany

To reach the inhabited islands of the Iroise Sea, the most used means of transport remains the boat. For example, the Penn ar Bed shipping company runs round round trips between the Molène and Ouessant Islands from Brest and Conquet. At any time, except for a very large storm, the shipping link is insured daily. During the tourist season, the company has a new port of departure and arrival: Camaret, on the Crozon peninsula. During this period, it also puts in place additional schedules. Once the foot is placed on the boat, you can only enjoy the landscape. Futed: tickets can be purchased online and the "Pass ports", valid ticket all year round for a return trip on the island of its choice, is an original gift idea.

It is a small fishing village, a quiet port nestled in a cove of the Ria. The port of Vieux-Passage lives to the rhythm of the fishermen waiting for the right moment to take to the sea and deposit their traps. Its location has made it a strategic position since the 1st century BC. Before the construction of the Lorois Bridge, a ferry linked the Vieux-Passage to the opposite bank, the port of Étel. After the destruction of this bridge by the war and then its reconstruction, the ferryman resumed service. Still in use today, it is a charming moment.
