The Grande Plage of Quiberon, Part I !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

Well the season is almost here and time to finally get out of the house. I have come back to my watering hole of many years now, the Grande Plage or big beach of Quiberon in the tip of the Quiberon peninsula about 35 minutes from home normal traffic as in the middle of the Summer season it can get to one hour. Therefore, here is my take on the Grande Plage of Quiberon, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Grande Plage or big beach is it here, loaded and fun !! The main entrance is by the Place Hoche, wonderful, just go in and out secure and with all amenities. The  beach is 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 All along it you have the wonderful boulevard Chanard . We do enjoy the Grande plage each time in town and plenty of them , the center of it all here. This our favorite as it comes with easy parking, great eating/drinking places and very nice people watch !!! You have a wonderful excuse to walk, along the Grande Plage to Port Maria  , where the docks for the ferries are to visit the nearby islands, on the so call Promenade de la Plage

Of course , I have written several posts on it but all briefly mentioned in overall posts; this time I giving it the credit it deserves with a single post; the Grande Plage is it! Love it!!!Without trees it can match any similar beach in the world, and I know about beaches!

The Grande Plage a wonderful fine white sand beach! This beach, in the heart of the resort town of Quiberon, 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 aeach 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 is our favorite as it comes with easy parking, great eating/drinking places and very nice people watch site!

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 ,and you are facing the Grande Plage or big beach, full ambiance go for it.

Overall a great time all day with the boys and is beginning to be filled, very popular not only with locals but Europeans especially Germans, British, Irish, Italians, Spanish, Dutch etc. I met a German couple who have been coming here for the last 20 years!!!

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.
