Secure storage ashore in Atlantic France

[Moonshine45]

Hi - does anyone know and good places to leave a boat ashore on the French Atlantic coast that is reasonably priced and secure??

Arzal; La Roche Bernard; Folleux

Also La Trinité; Le Crouesty; Port Haliguen; et al.

Rochefort was my winter base for 8 years. Great value storage in locked compound.
Interesting town and the Charente, Vendée and Brittany coasts on the doorstep.
20 minutes by train from international flights to La Rochelle.

Arzal is a very well run yard but not easy to reach without a car. If you want best value and easy access to Nantes airport look at Port Lavigne Hivernage - Port à sec, Hivernage de Bateaux, Chantier Naval just west of Nantes on the Loire.

There's another yard downstream which caught my eye when we sailed up to Nantes a couple of years ago. From what I could see it looked very clean and well-equipped

I meant to stop on the way back and have a look round but the weather was deteriorating so I gave it a miss.

I found the guy who manned the chandlery section here very helpful, but I haven't used any other the other facilities: Chantier naval Lorient - Kernével Nautic

The adjacent marina is good, very friendly and helpful staff - I stayed there for 3 weeks in 2020. Lorient is an excellent location for cruising.
