The Bac boat of Concarneau!!

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

Now this one was hidden in my picture vault and thought told you about it but did not. Therefore, here is new text and new older pictures to talk about the passing boat or bac of Concarneau in Finistére dept 29 of my lovely Bretagne, and my belle France.

The ferry of the passage or Bac is thus this small boat which makes you cross the entry of the port, of the Passage Lanriec by place Duquesne with the Ville Close or enclosed city, thus avoiding you the turn by the bridge of Moros or by the dry dock if you pass by the fishing port (normally reserved for port users). Very interesting therefore to get to town quickly and very entertaining for visitors to Concarneau. This crossing of around 200 meters is the smallest cruise in the world with a journey that lasts only 3 min.

The electric ferry “Le Vachic” is a catamaran with a capacity of 30 people, quieter, it also provides more comfort to users due in particular to the absence of olfactory nuisances. The reduced space between the ship and the pontoon as well as the presence of a docking hook secures the boarding and alighting of passengers. A screen, placed on board, allows the diffusion of information on the city and its many animations. Four passing boats provide this service, which depends on the city/town hall of Concarneau. Throughout the year, the ferry operates from 8h to 18h30. From July 1 to August 31, round trips continue until 23h.

Since the Middle Ages, a passing boat or Bac has shuttled between the Ville-Close (enclosed city) and the Lanriec district located on the other side of the channel. The oldest written testimonies relating to its activity date from 1678 when the Abbey of Landevennec owned the right of way. This service, private for several centuries, became municipal in 1976, placed under the responsibility of the marina and the city of Concarneau.

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.
