The beaches of Pléneuf Val André, part II !!!

Posted in Bretagne, France

On my road warrior ways again , and with new older pics from cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, I was going into new towns, new finds, and all beautiful! This town sure merits a return as soon as possible; lively ambiance, great beach, and nice monuments to see, The town of Pléneuf-Val-André is located in the Côtes-d’Armor department 22 in my  lovely  Bretagne  region of my belle France. It is known as a family seaside resort, located on the east coast of the bay of Saint-Brieuc, known as the “Côte de Penthièvre”. 25 km east of Saint-Brieuc and 13 km north of Lamballe. This was our first time here and it was magical, we will be back, eventually, I Iike to tell you about the beaches we saw and one we love on the beaches of Pléneuf Val André, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The plage Val André beach is the main and best beach of Pléneuf Val Andréin my opinion, and the most central. A sandy beach of 2.5 km, along its promenade de la Digue for pedestrians, itself dominated by villas of seaside style of the early century. This is awesome beauty, Well sheltered from the prevailing winds, the beach is safe for children, and supervised in the summer season. Nearby: parking, toilets, showers. Accessibility for persons with reduced mobility near the lifeguard station, and the beach is accessible by ramps. This is one the five beaches of the resort which is well equipped  On the town’s side ,one block from the beach, all along Rue Amiral Charnier from rue de Rohein to rue Charles de Gannes is all shops and restos for about 2 km long !!! Awesome beauty.

Located in the heart of the resort, this 2,5 km fine sand beach can only seduce you. The beach extends from the Pointe de la Guette which overlooks the Pissot cove at the Pointe de Piegu and its emblematic Rocher du Verdelet., You can enjoy it in all seasons but differently… In autumn and winter you can stroll there but that doesn’t stop the children from playing in the sand or with a ball. With the wind, kite surfing and windsurfing are out. It is also a family beach par excellence which is supervised in summer. If you have a pet, the beach is not accessible from September 15 to June 15. During high tides, come and admire “the jumping sea!” along the promenade de la Digue (dike).

A first casino had been created in 1883 in an annex of the Hôtel de la Plage (Hotel du Casino). It was on April 22, 1934 that the Val-André casino Partouche, the Rotonde, opened on the seawall-promenade de la Digue , and also offered games rooms, a dance floor and a restaurant-bar. Its building is intertwined with that of a cinema The official casino de Val André: https://casino-valandre.partouche.com/

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.
