The beaches of Fouesnant !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

Let me tell you a bit about Fouesnant, in the Finistére dept 29 of my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France. As the coasts around here are all wonderful. There is so much to see in architecture and history, We made the best of the day and visited this new town in my world map. Therefore, let me tell you again about the beaches of Fouesnant !!! Hope you enjoy it as I,

Beg Meil ​​is part of the town of Fouesnant , located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a renowned seaside resort. Beg Meil ​​is a peninsula, surrounded in the east by the bay of the forest and in the south by the Atlantic Ocean, of the town Fouesnant-les Glénan, which gave its name to a hamlet, as well as to the pointe de Beg Meil, located at the southeast end of this peninsula.

It is at Beg Mail , near the tip (pointe), on the south side, that there are two coves. The plage des Dunes beach is the main one , even thus it h as more cliffs than dunes,,,. Next to it we find that of plage de Kermyl. Both are great with sand, cliffs and rocks … A pleasant environment and reasonable attendance. On the other hand, the two are not monitored … So cautious because in this sector the ocean can be unleashed ..We access this beach directly by the road D45. At the end, the parking lot of the Dunes beach is indicated. Small snack at the stairs in the parking lot.

Near the above, we find the plage de Kerambigorn beach. Starting point for a large sandy beach of 3.5 km long bordered by a pleasant dune in a preserved environment, it opens onto an ocean often unleashed in winter. In clear weather, you can even see the Glénan archipelago at about 15 km. In summer, the beach was monitored from 13h to 19h In the season, a small snack is installed near the parking lot and offers snacks. Free parking. You can easily reach the other sectors of the beach on foot and the neighboring coves of Beg Meil.

The Sémaphore de Beg Meil ​​was built in 1861 at the Pointe de Beg Meil ​​near an old guardhouse built in the 18C ,abandoned since the fall of the first empire, and nearly two batteries designed to protect the coast against the forays of the English. It monitors the forest bay and approaches to the Glénan archipelago, Today, it is a military zone no access just see it walking on the dune.

An interesting blockhaus took to find out it houses bats! The ONF and Kallista Energy have teamed up to restore new use to these blockhouses by transforming them permanently into a winter shelter for bats that populate this site. The blockhouses were thus put to accommodate bats, in greater numbers and different species. This is by the plage des Dunes beach. Go figure

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.
