The Grande Plage of Carnac ,part IV !!!

Posted in Bretagne, France

I came back to check out one of our favorite hangouts here, Carnac. And voilà realise several pictures missing from my blog and they should be in. On Carnac ,plenty written on it and Unesco heritage site on its megaliths stones, but for us the beach ambiance is it.  And Carnac, has plenty of good beach ambiance , in fact 5 beaches ! I will tell you more of the Grande Plage of Carnac, part IV !!!  Hope you enjoy it as I.

Briefly, the town of Carnac is indeed two. There is Carnac bourg or city center inland and there is Carnac plage or beach,along the ocean where the beaches are of course. Both are about 2 km away. Oh yes this is south of me about 30 minutes in my beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France!

I must admit, our favorite . Clear water, fine sand and 2 km long, the Grande Plage de Carnac is a treat for bathers and sunbathers. The Grande Plage is the largest of the five beaches in the city. In summer, swimming is supervised and water sports can be practiced safely. Two beach clubs set up there each summer. The Grande Plage or big beach, this is absolutely wonderful and our favorite for hangouts and swimming. You must come here in Summer; it can beat any in the world me think. A few steps away, you will find many restaurants and shops.  Possibility of parking along the Grande Plage on bd de la plage. No dogs allowed.

The Grande Plage faces south, an ideal beach for sunbathing. It is separated from the beach boulevard by small dunes. The boulevard has a long seafront promenade starting at the Yacht Club de Carnac and ending at Pointe Churchill. The beach is also the only beach with specialized access for the motor handicapped. It also benefits from the “tourism and disability” label as well as equipment and qualified guides to welcome people with reduced mobility. Many activities are offered at the entrance to the large beach. Children’s club, beach restaurant (Le Fisher), longe-coast center (sea walking), as well as the Yatch Club at the western end for water activities.

It was time to eat again, and we came back to our favorite at the Memes Tra, mention here for the memories, the new ownership as the Lulu à la plage brasserie, good we missed the ambiance of the first one ;right across is the Grande Plage, and very close to the shopping area behind it , the food is delicious, we gang up on mussels is the season, curry and garlic sauces combination with delicious homemade fries, grimbergen beers, and more banana splits, Breizh gourmand (coffee with small breton cakes like far breton etc), and Quebec cup of ice;  cream different flavors.

For a great ice cream go to L’Igloo just a block from the Grande Plage or big beach, superb , our family would come here just for that! For a quick coffee, the lotto tickets, magazines, newspaper, and the must stamp, we had the opportunity to visit it especially for the lottery and newspaper this friendly Bar Tabac Le Marigny, very close to the beach as well.

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.
