The Chantier Le Cœur was a shipyard in Lesconil, in southern Finistère, active from 1905 to 1980. It bears witness to the traditional artisanal activity of a small Breton port in the 20th century and has held the designation of “Port of Heritage Interest” since 2018. This former shipyard was converted into an eco-museum in 2019 and is managed by the Bag Leskon association.

The museum showcases the original buildings, collections, and equipment, and takes its name from the shipyard’s principal owner, Alain Le Cœur (pictured in the first photo).
