Port Haliguen ,part III !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

In this time of the year the place is becoming crowded with visitors ,and locals alike and the weather is great of course.  What I am talking about Quiberon, the peninsula south of me, my backyard. And more specificallyPort Haliguen; which needs more posts me think. Again, found me more pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, Therefore, this is my take again on Port Haliguen, part III !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

For reference, this is in my beautiful Morbihan ,in my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France, Port Haliguen is only 41 km (about 25 miles) from my house, There is a nice lighthouse done in 1856 and the marina was done from 1968; it has been renovated Port Haliguen was completely redone ; it can accommodate 1,300 boats with the current four docks: the old port, docks PH1 and PH2, and a dock for transiting boats. The lighthouses are always a pretty sight, and the bigger one  phare de Port Haliguen can be seen for 10 miles with a height of 12 meters and since 1972 no longer in operation. It remain a nice tourist attraction today.

The pecheur or fisherman sitting on a lobster trap, next to the lighthouse of Port-Haliguen, The fisherman welcomes visitors and sailors who come to moor on the pontoons. It’s hard to resist the charm of old Port Haliguen with its 1856 lighthouse and its stone quays where Captain Dreyfus disembarked after returning from prison. At the entrance to the port, you see the Fisherman , donated by Berlin artist Karsten Klingbeil in 1997.



Since 1998, the Pecheur or Fisherman, a donated work by German sculptor Karsten Klingbeil, has watched over the Port Haliguen and Quiberon Bay in Morbihan like sentinels. Industrialist and business leader Karsten Klingbeil loved to come and recharge his batteries in Quiberon, where he lived overlooking Quiberon Bay. Born in 1925, he was a student in several sculptors’ studios between 1940 and 1943. A soldier, he was a prisoner of war in the Soviet Union until 1948. In 1950, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin.

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.
