    At the mouth of the Odet River, the port of Sainte-Marine is home to one of the most charming sailors' shelters created by Jacques de Thézac at the start of the 20th century. A sailing enthusiast, the philanthropic ethnographer built (alcohol-free) refuges to give brave sailors somewhere to rest, learn and relax. Restored to its original state, the shelter is now a museum. Surrounded by objects from the time and photographs of Jacques de Thézac, you'll be immersed in a world shared by sailors of a long-gone era. There's an annual exhibition on the subject of maritime heritage in all its diversity, from the history of fishing under sail to stories and legends of the sea. 'Shelter Treasure' kits allow you to enjoy the museum as a family, or you can have a guided tour with Nolwenn, the caretaker. Activities are available such as an introduction to seamanship and embroidery, as well as guided walks and talks.
