Ty Ar Vorlenn
Once a family home, now yours for the holidays.
Once a family home, now yours for the holidays.
This house is, above all, a family home. Built in the 19th century, it began as a lean-to against the neighbouring house before being raised and extended into a family residence, with the kitchen further extended in the 1970s.
The only house on the street raised to the level of Rue des Dames behind it — a quirk that sets it apart — it now offers uninterrupted views of the Citadel, the estuary and the sea from every floor, all the way to the island of Groix.
It has been in the family for over 150 years, welcoming holidaymakers across several generations — a tradition it continues to this day.
Restored since 2021 with the help of local craftsmen, our own hands, and friends, every piece of furniture and every object has a story to tell. Everything has been chosen with comfort in mind, while keeping the home's warm, Breton, family soul intact — with plenty of nods to the 18th century and the influence of the Compagnie des Indes.
Ideally located between Port de la Pointe, La Grande Plage and the shopping streets of the centre, Ty Ar Vorlenn is a short walk from Port-Louis, and a short boat ride from Gâvres and Lorient.

Perfectly located. On foot from the house, you can wander the streets of central Port-Louis with its shops and boutiques, or hop on a boat to Gâvres and Lorient. The scenery changes with every turn. Every early August, Port-Louis comes alive with the rhythm of Lorient's Festival Interceltique.
Boat-bus timetables →Beaches, coves and a walk around the ramparts; strolling the lanes of Port-Louis and its shops; the customs officers' coastal path towards Locmiquélic; kayaking up the Blavet river to the Pont du Bonhomme; the Gâvres peninsula, reached by boat-bus from Locmalo; cycling along the Gâvres inlet; or a day trip to the Île de Groix, a short ferry ride from Port de la Pointe.
The ramparts and the Citadel of Port-Louis, home to two museums: the Musée de la Marine, devoted to sea rescue and shipwrecks, and the Musée de la Compagnie des Indes, tracing the maritime trade history of the 17th and 18th centuries.
A summer events programme for all ages. A producers' market on Saturday mornings, and a night market on Tuesdays in summer. The boat-bus also reaches Lorient and its Festival Interceltique — not to be missed for a full immersion in Breton culture.
Lorient and its former submarine base, the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly, hikes along the Blavet and Scorff rivers, and the finest beaches in the area.
