Bien qu'existant sûrement déjà auparavant, puisque le pont actuel sur la rivière du Loch date de 1464, c'est vers 1615 que la construction des quais lui donne son aspect actuel. Although existing surely already before, since the current bridge

C'était un port marin de quelques importance puisque c'est de là que parti Isaac de Romilly pour reprendre l'Acadie en 1632 et que ses quais eurent encore avant la Révolution l'honneur de voir passer Benjamin Franklin, futur président des Etats-Unis donc, venant demander de l'aide au roi de France contre le roi d'Angleterre en 1776... Ne voulant pas - encore - intervenir directement dans le conflit, il laissa le soin de la vente d'armes à Beaumarchais.

It was a marine port of some importance since it is from there that left Isaac de Romilly to take again Acadie in 1632 and that its quays had still before the Revolution the honor to see passing Benjamin Franklin, future president of the United States thus, coming to ask of the assistance king de France against the king of England in 1776… Not wanting - still - to intervene directly in the conflict, it left the care of the sale of weapons with Beaumarchais.



Sont également passé par Auray (qui était vraiment un port important) Vauban qui allait voir comment fortifier Belle-Ile ou Sarah Bernhardt qui allait elle aussi à Belle Ile, bien que possédant une maison à Auray, Mazarin, Mme de Sévigné qui décidément est passée partout en Bretagne.

Also passed to Auray (which was really an important port) Vauban which was going to strengthen "Belle ile" or Sarah Bernhardt which also went it to Belle ile, although having a house with Auray, Mazarin, Mrs. de Sévigné which passed everywhere to Brittany
