Coming to Ouessant

Drop off your car in Le Conquet

To get to Ouessant, you can take your bike on the boat, but not your car.
If you take the boat from the Brest ferry terminal, you can find free parking spaces at the commercial port. Please note: parking is restricted at some times of the year.
On the other hand, the commune of Le Conquet has a blue zone all year round, 7 days a week. For your stay in Ushant, it is advisable to park your vehicle in one of the car parks listed below. These car parks are subject to a charge, except for the Tissier car park, near the tourist office, which is free from 1st October to 31st March (parking limited to 7 days). Some offer free shuttles that will drop you off at the pier. During the season, the car parks in Le Conquet can quickly become full: remember to book!
Parking is prohibited in front of the ferry terminal. However, you can use the spaces as a drop-off point to unload your luggage and then park your vehicle in one of the paid car parks.
