The Hippodrome de la Baie of Yffiniac !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

I was back in my road warrior mode going up to the northern parts of my lovely Bretagne to see new towns! The search is never ending with the abundance of beauties around here. I came upon this town and it was nice again! Therefore, let me tell you about the Hippodrome de la Baie of Yffiniac, Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The town of Yffiniac is located in the Côtes-d’Armor department 22 in my lovely Bretagne region. The town is on the N12 road, 7 km from Saint-Brieuc as well as about an hour from my house !

The picturesque Hippodrome de la Baie or bay racecourse is the first departmental racecourse and the second regional. Located on the heights of the town, in the heart of a wooded area, the Hippodrome de la Baie or racecourse of the bay is a sporting but also festive facility, thanks to a schedule rich in activities. Equestrian exhibitions, pony baptisms, carriage rides… allow you to establish a closer and more emotional relationship with the horse, the true lord of the place.

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.
