Let me take you back to this wonderful area of my beautiful Morbihan, We come here often and again found some pictures not in my blog that should be, me think, What I am talking about the Port Haliguen of Quiberon. This is ,therefore, new text and older pics new to the blog . Let me tell you a bit more on the Port Haliguen of Quiberon , part I !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

A very busy stopover because it is ideally located at the entrance to the bay of Quiberon, Port-Haliguen is only 5 km from La Teignouse, 19 km from Belle-Ile, 15 km from Crouesty, and 11 km from La Trinité sur Mer. On foot, the center of Quiberon and all its shops are a ten-minute walk away. Today the two new basins reclaimed from the sea, make Port Haliguen a major stopover for yachting in Morbihan. 

There is a nice lighthouse done in 1856 and the marina was done from 1968; it is now on its way to be improve and enlarge from its current 1200 moorings. Port Haliguen has been renovated and enlarge with a large-scale dredging of the west dock (Bassin de Castero), followed by the east basin (Bassin du Porigo). The creation of a lively centre around the basin. This has improve the services for boat owners, develop the port and strengthen its identity. A sensible extension of the number of moorings. The lighthouses are always a pretty sight, and the bigger one from 1856 or phare de Port Haliguen can be seen for 10 miles with a height of 12 meters and no more in operation.  Two smaller red phares or lighthouses are on the causeway out to see; the one on the left has 11 miles vision at 8 meters high; the one on the right has 8 miles vision of a high of 7 meters. On the north dam, there is another lighthouse,this one green with a vision of 6 miles and  9 meters high.

You can, also, see the expositions in the Maison du Phare a sort of events place for the area . The Bay of Quiberon on the lighthouse house: https://www.baiedequiberon.bzh/a-voir-a-faire/culture-et-patrimoine/ateliers-et-galeries-d-art/la-maison-du-phare
