And here I take you again,way north of me to the tip in the peninsula of my lovely Bretagne. One of the off the beaten path towns of the Finistére ,and seldom over look for its distance from the mainstream. However, it is worth a detour for its sea and Breton traditions. I have to say this was found by chance after visiting the abbey, but worth the detour indeed, I took new pictures from my trip this week that should be in my blog for you and me, Therefore, let me tell you on the plage des Anges of Landéda-Aber Wrac’h !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The town of Landéda is in the Finistère department no 29, of my lovely Bretagne region ,and in my belle France. A coastal town on the English Channel coast, in the heart of the Côte des Légendes, Landéda forms a peninsula between two abers, Aber-Wrac’h to the north and Aber-Benoît to the south, the very jagged end of which itself forms the Sainte-Marguerite peninsula. It has 15 km of coastline, The town of Landéda has several islands in its municipal territory such as Île Guénioc Island, located 2 km from the coast, it is approximately 400 meters long and 160 meters wide at its widest point. Guénioc Island is of great interest due to the numerous archaeological remains preserved in a remarkable way. The presence of cairns containing dolmens, the construction of which is estimated at 4,600 years BC (Neolithic), makes this place among the oldest monuments in Europe Île Garo, Île Roch’Avel where the remains of a galgal, a megalithic tumulus, remain Île Tariec iit bears the name of Saint Tariec and was inhabited, having its chapel and cemetery. In 1842 the island was cut in two by erosion accelerated by sand extraction, hence the Grande Tariec and Petite Tariec, the two current islets; Île Cézon is accessible at low tide and is part of a group of well-known islets. The fortifications of Fort Cézon surrounding it were built by Vauban from 1694 and then transformed over the centuries until WWII, during which 17 blockhouses were erected., and Île Stagadon , located at the entrance to Aber-Wrac’h, is administratively part of the town of Plouguerneau. The islands opposite Aber Wrac’h, also called the Lilia Islands archipelago, Île Wrac’h and its lighthouse. Île Venan, Île Vierge . Île Terc’h or Erc’h (aka Île aux Americans).Île La Croix , Île La Malouine. Île Enez Vihan. Petites îles Vrac’h, Île Leac’h Venn ,and île Valan.
The Plage des Anges or Angels Beach is located after the port of Aber Wrac’h and in front of the Notre Dame des Anges Abbey. Also the closest to one of the largest water sports centers on the north coast, Aber Wrac’h: sailing, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, cruising, diving, etc., all of which take advantage of the open sea and the relative calm of this vast estuary. The beach itself is extraordinary only for its activities and surroundings: Aber Wrac’h and oyster farming make it a delightful place for many reasons.
The Plage des Anges is a small, quiet beach, at the foot of oyster beds, which offers a magnificent landscape that you can admire from the comfort of its white sand. Ideally located near the Aber Wrac’h port, close to craft shops, bars, and restaurants. A perfect place to take a short break on the beach after a visit to the Notre Dame des Anges Abbey or an exhibition at the semaphore. Many windsurfers choose this beach as their starting point for their session on the water.
