Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

I like to take you back again to the wonderfully beautiful coastal Morbihan and tell you a bit more on pretty port of Larmor-Baden with older new pictures found in my vault and should be in my blog, me think, Therefore, here are my curiosities of Larmor-Baden, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

We rode down to the coast and beach town of Larmor Baden, on the road D101 ,then D316, The town of Larmor-Baden is located on a peninsula on the banks of the Gulf of Morbihan, 15 km from Vannes and 14 km from Auray, and only 27 km from my house.

The town is best known for the boat ride to see the Cairn de Gavrinis a huge stone monument that they have not figure the date on it yet, and it sits right on an island of the same name off the town. Larmor-Baden has 4 Islands on its territory: the island of Berder (private), connected to the mainland by a submersible sand roadway, the island of Gavrinis (with a great cairn megalith stone), île Longue and ïle Radenec.

It has a nice Church of Notre Dame (see post); the parish church was blessed on July 29, 1880. It had as godmother of the bells, for the donation the Countess Dillon.

The port of Larmor-Baden is the site of a landing stage for the Gulf of Morbihan , It faces the island of Berder to the east and the island of Gavrinis 550 meters to the south. The Port de Plaisance hold, which is located on the south pier, is a pier for passenger ships. The marina has a slipway. A crane is used to launch and dry pleasure boats. Very picturesque indeed ! And of course, oysters and mussels galore !!! Awesome !!!

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.
