The port of Arradon, part II !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

Doing my errands and sightseeing in my wonderful beautiful Morbihan breton ,and in my lovely Bretagne of my belle France! This is an ongoing project with no end in sight by me, a beautiful region and glad my dear late wife Martine asked to take the job here so we could live on, I like to update and combine two posts into one with new text ,pics, and links for you and me, Again, let me tell you about the port of Arradon, part II !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

The port of Arradon at the Pointe d’ Arradon, a small peninsula of 700 meters long by 200 meters wide at its widest point ,faces the Pointe du Trec’h located on Île-aux-Moines, and its wonderful sea life only found in Bretagne with its old sea traditions. Arradon, just next to Vannes and south of me by 30 minutes by car. From me I take the D768 to the beaches direction Arradon then cross over the expressway or N165 and take the road D127 straight to town! The town is located on the coast of the Gulf of Morbihan which is 120 km from Rennes and Nantes. It borders the cities of Vannes, Ploeren and Baden. Thus, it is part of the agglomeration of Vannes. The town of Arradon has a coastline of 15 km , and is located opposite the Ile aux Moines and the Ile d’Arz with which this town provides transport. Besides, the two Logoden Islands and the small island of Irus belong to Arradon. Ar rad don means in Breton the deep harbor. Indeed, Arradon is one of the deepest passes in the Gulf of Morbihan.

They do have nice beaches , such as plage de Kerbilhouet, plage de Penboch, and plage de la Carrière (best). It has a nice marina harbor ,serving as a boarding terminal for passenger boats visiting  for the nearby island of l‘Ile-aux-Moines (Monks island but there are no monks now), and great seafood!! The Pointe d’ Arradon is in the Gulf of Morbihan. It faces the Pointe du Trec’h located on Île-aux-Moines.

We had our lunch at the Créperie Les Logoden, (breton for laughs)  20, rue Albert Danet , Where the food was great with galette arradonaise with local breton sausages, cafe gourmand with expresso coffee and small pots of creme brulée,far breton, and apple crêpes, a 50cl house red wine(2/3 bottle), and similar faires for the gang all for 18,40€ per person!!! the service was a bit slow but this is a small town, once we got going the lady started talking more lol! To emphasize the food was fantastic, the welcome a bit cold. No web but a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/creperieleslogoden/

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.
