Port of Lesconil

In earlier times, the fishing port of Lesconil was the economic backbone of the town. The communist fishermen of Lesconil opposed the neighboring Catholic village of Plobannalec by naming their cutters. “Karl Marx” or “Revolution” were in the harbor here in the evenings.
Today the fishing harbor is still picturesque, but the cutter fleet has disappeared and the few remaining fishermen migrated to neighboring Le Guilvinec in the early 2000s for better infrastructure.

Even without a fishing fleet, the port is still worth a stop. When the wind blows, there are strong and impressive mountains of spray on the harbor wall, which offer a beautiful photo opportunity. The local sailing school offers courses for all kinds of water sports in the harbor and in front of the mouth of the Ster.
