The Forgotten Jewel in Cote d\'Armour
The Forgotten Jewel on the Cote d’Armour
Treguier, six miles up the river Jaudy appears to be the forgotten jewel in the cote d’Armour.
A reasonable overnight destination from Dartmouth, and most of the South West coast for most cruising vessels, and only a short hop from the channel islands.
The river/marina is accessible at most points of the tide, with well marked channels both day and night with a substantial improvement schedule that has been carried out over the last few years:
• Dredging the whole marina to give better draft facilities and access to larger craft
• Upgrading of the electricity supply on all the visitors berths
• New pontoon decking on the majority of the marina
• Spotlessly clean showers and toilets, cleaned three times a day and available 24/7
• Proper cleats, oft a bane of cruisers to France not the loops that sprout all over the place.
• New waiting pontoon, this midstream waiting pontoon is new and there are plans to increase its holding capacity, as it is necessary to enter the marina at slack tide.
• The New Captain of the port is accommodating and will try his best with his team to meet visitor’s specific needs, and are always available to help with berthing if you are short handed.
• Fuel is available.
Within walking distance there are several superb restaurants in the old town, that have diverse and varied menus that would cater for the most fastidious palette, and of course crepes and pizza’s for young and old.
There are all the major supermarkets within walking distance for provisions, and some will deliver to the marina.
For bits for the boat and clobber for the crew there is the Coper Marine “le veritable supermarche de la mer” which has most things available, and a short bus ride away you have Paimpol and Lesardrieux with a greater range of chandlers.
So why is it that few cruising boats visit, there is very little press coverage of this marina tucked safely up the Jaudy, and only regulars appear to revisit?
So give it a go, a warm welcome awaits newcomers and old
btw not involved at all with the marina and its management, and have a new sign in name, was Moonfish but forgot my password and the email address i used when signing up years ago!!
Just a very happy boater that has his home port in Treguier and felt i would share the improvements with you all.
