Centre Nautique de Roscoff

Learning the sea at every age, between Île de Batz and the old harbour: sailing, kayaking and exploring the bay.

Discovering the sea to better protect it

Since 1959, the Centre Nautique de Roscoff has taught people of all ages about the sea — children, adults and seniors, curious first-timers and lifelong sailors alike. On the water sailing and kayaking, or ashore at our talks and nature outings: getting to know the bay better is already a step toward protecting it.
