Sellor Port De Plaisance

Located at the entrance to the ports of Lorient, Kernevel Point is a strategic site from the 18th century. Puisqu’ defends Lorient and its prestigious India Company.

This site has been invested since the 19th century by the canning industry where the Lorient banker, Auguste Ouizille, will make it the first port in Kernevel. The construction of a winery and dock brought fishing products and sent passengers to Lorient and Port Louis. The Ouizille family particularly marked the Kernevel district, as this name is also linked to the three villas overlooking the ports and called “Château des Sardines.”

During World War II, the Germans commandeered the three villas and converted this point in Larmor-Plage into an entrenched camp from which Admiral Dönitz led the Battle of the Atlantic.

Created in 1988, the new Kernével marina has seen the most important names in sailing such as Jean-Luc Van Den Heede, Alain Gautier, Herve Laurent, Olivier de Kersauson or Eric Tabarly moored on their pontoons. A true symbol of the rise of pleasure in the Pays de Lorient, the port of Kernével has developed over the years to ensure a quality welcome for its sailors.
