Curiosities of Port du Crouesty, part II !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, France

Again by Port du Crouesty, well this has become a routine if there were other places to see ! I took my boys and our dog Rex and went for it ,another road warrior trip in my beautiful Morbihan, of my lovely Bretagne and my belle France. This is the latest of this week with new pictures around gorgeous Port du Crouesty of Arzon, Therefore, here is my take on curiosities of Port du Crouesty ,part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Anchored at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, the town of Arzon enjoys a prime location for witnessing the spectacular tides. The force of the ocean current rushing into the Gulf can reach 9 knots, making it the second strongest in Europe. Arzon is a town located at the end of the presqu’île de Rhuys ( Rhuys peninsula) ,Along the Quai des Voiliers you have a line up of restos and bars to choose from some already tried and post in my blog for all tastes,

.It has two seaside resorts of very different characters: Port-Navalo, dating from the early 20C (see post) , and Le Crouesty,(see posts) modern seaside resort, in constant development since the 1970s and until today, The port du Crouesty is a marina created in 1973 on the site of a swampy area located at the entrance of the Gulf of Morbihan  on the territory of the town of Arzon.  It has a brand new tourist office the Golfe du Morbihan Vannes Tourisme – Bureau d’Arzon – Port-Navalo – Port Crouesty at the Rond-point du Crouesty, by the marina.

The Casino JOA is ,also, by the Rond-point du Crouesty just on the other side, I have with my boys tried briefly the Bar des sports, It is a nice place for the initiated,

The Feu Postérieur or Rear Light is an alignment lighthouse of 28.60 meters height to enter the channel. The range of the lighthouse is 8 nautical miles, which is more than enough to reach the entrance of the channel. You see in white on the far right of the pic below.

The first groundbreaking ceremony took place in 1973. Today, Port du Crouesty is the largest marina in Brittany, with over 1,432 pontoon berths. Shops, restaurants, and hotels thrive to the rhythm of numerous nautical events: the Crouesty Grand Prix in Spring, the Morbihan Paddle Trophy, the Le Mille Sabords du Crouesty Gulf of Morbihan Boat Show (All Saints’ Day weekend), and the Edhec Cruise Race.

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.
