Curiosities of Locmariaquer, part III !!!

Posted in Bretagne, France

I am back in coastal gorgeous Locmariaquer in my beautiful Morbihan breton dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne in my belle France, I came to a familiar place so close to my house only 28 minutes. I again found me older pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, Therefore, again here is my take on the curiosities of Locmariaquer , part III !! Hope you enjoy it as I.

The Digue du Breneguy (dike) which allows you to connect the villages of Kerlud and Saint Pierre, while along the Toul-Keun cove. Under the aegis of the coastal conservatory, the coastal path of Brénéguy belongs to the servitude of the passage of pedestrians on the coast, like many other access connecting the coasts and territories. The plage Toul Keun beach is located in a small bay or anse ideal for learning to do windsurfing or dinghy. The beach is located opposite the ocean in a sheltered bay. It extends around it and allows you to reach the beaches of St-Pierre and the Grande plage. On the other hand, as often in Locmariaquer, this beach is completely unusable for swimming at low tide. It is 2 km long !

The Brénéguy site with its salant marshes, its oyster basins, its dike (digue) and its red house (manoir rouge), A longère( rural house typical of the Brittany region. The term “Longère” refers to its elongated and rectangular shape, characteristic of this architectural style), that was the property of the Countess Motta-and which would in fact belong to a family of the Motte … According to locals , the building would have always called the maison rouge. A nice manoir opposite the Fort Espagnol on the Auray river. Today, the house is used as a wedding site by many, There is ,also, a small beach,

Locmariaquer

Google says is about 25 min on foot but me always there by car from City center Locmariaquer (10 min) take the  Voie des Mégalithes, (megaliths way), Vge de Kerlogonan (turning road), Route de Saint-Pierre direction Breneguy.

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.
