The Grande Plage of Quiberon, part I !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

Ok so if one day you are passing near me and head for the beaches, you will probably won’t need to contact me just go directly to the Grande Plage or big beach of Quiberon. We were there again even in these times and spoked with locals all ready willing and eager to start again hopefully by the time you read this post.  It’s full of nice people in the businesses , not one disappointment on the 9 years we have already spent in this part of my belle France. This is the Morbihan dept 56 of Bretagne and this is the Big Beach of Quiberon!  I have done posts on it briefs and long over the years but never tired of telling the ambiance here is super family oriented and great night entertainment as well for the young and restless or young at heart! Let me tell you a bit more on the Grande Plage of Quiberon , part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Grande Plage is 900 meters of fine sand! This beach, in the heart of the resort, is accessible to all and has a parking for bicycles, a carpet and an armchair hipocampe for people with reduced mobility. In summer it offers a kids’ club and a beach bar. For your safety this beach is supervised in the summer and has a first aid station. Showers and toilets. We do enjoy the Grande plage or big beach, the center of it all here. It has kiddies areas, and grownups. Large beach with white sandy sands and wide enough to play games. This our favorite as it comes with easy parking, great eating/drinking places and very nice people. Can’t tell you enough.

Oh yes there is Le Fisher beach club (see post) right on the beach serving well even Mumm’s Champagne with classe. Of course, today was empty and so eerie a sad feeling , businesses need to flourish so we can have fun and make families happy I love that. Looking forward to June 2nd!!!

Again, in summer there is still but rather unfinance Tire Bouchon train that comes from Auray to the station in Quiberon and walk to the Grande Plage in minutes easy. The train stop at Auray from Paris Montparnasse. There is , also, a bus line 1 from Auray train station to the gare maritime or cruise terminal in Quiberon right off the Grande Plage. The rest of the year you have still the bus and the car. Come off the expressway N165 get on exit 33 direction Quiberon, follow it on the road D768 always on the Quiberon panels .a straight line between the seas, that is what a peninsula is surrounded by water and gorgeous views.

The D768 road will take you right into city center or centre ville right past the wonderful Church Notre Dame de Locmaria (see post). Go around it on the right hand side. This is the D200 road or Rue de Verdun until you reach panel saying Parking Varquez it is our favorite walk to the Grande Plage unless it is a Saturday market day  (held at the parking) the rest parking is ok if come early in Summer or plenty the rest of the year.  Walk down Place Hoche right by the statue of Gen Hoche you see L’Esplanade Cafe , and you are facing the Grande Plage or big beach, full ambiance go for it.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
