Guide

Approach and anchoring

Enter the Jaudy river off La Corne lighthouse, then follow the buoyed channel upriver. Visitor mooring buoys are laid here and have been free out of season, otherwise drop anchor on mud in 3 to 6 metres on the neaps, staying clear of the fairway used by the Tréguier marina traffic. The tidal stream runs to 3 knots on springs in the fairway, weaker over the anchorage off to one side.

Practical

Water tap available on the bank. No other services at the anchorage itself. Full facilities at Tréguier marina, 2.4 nautical miles to the south, including diesel, electricity and boatyard. Port Blanc gives a secondary shelter option 4.1 nautical miles west on the coast.

History

Tréguier was the seat of one of the nine historic bishoprics of Brittany. The Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual, built between the 13th and 15th centuries, dominates the skyline upstream of the anchorage and served as a landmark for sailors entering the Jaudy.
