Places to see in ( Quiberon - France )
Quiberon is a town and a peninsula on the southern coast of the Finistère department of western Brittany, near Carnac. The peninsula is 14 kilometres long and connected to mainland France by little more than a bank of sand with a road across it, with the entrance to the peninsula being overlooked by the 19th century Fort de Penthièvre. Although there are few important monuments in the town of Quiberon it is pleasant to explore: your visit will be centred around the port and on the long sandy beach in the town itself. This main beach is almost one kilometre long and called La Grande Plage.
Behind the beach you can see various grand villas dating from the time that Quiberon became established as a resort at the end of the 19th century, when trainlines first arrived here, as well as some more recent developments. In the town behind the beach you can see typical low Brittany whitewashed houses and shops, and the 12th century Church of Notre-Dame de Locmaria. There is also a small museum dedicated to the history of the Quiberon peninsula, called the Maison du Patrimoine (on rue de Port Haliguen in the town centre). There are two ports here: Port Maria, where the fishing fleet is based and from where you can take excursions to the nearby islands, and Port Haliguen, which is the port for pleasure boats. The castle you can see on a headland is called Chateau Turpault and was built in 1910 - it is not open to the public.
The Quiberon peninsula is a very popular seaside resort in the summer, and has some attractive beaches on the sheltered eastern coast. The most popular beaches (apart from the beach in Quiberon town) are those at Saint-Pierre and Penthievre. At Saint-Pierre-de-Quiberon you can also visit the menhirs (the town lies at the southern end of the 'Coast of megaliths' which runs south from Carnac on to the peninsula).
Head to the most southerly point on the peninsula, called the Pointe du Conguel, for the best view across the to the islands in Quiberon Bay. Pointe de Percho at the north-west of the peninsula is also well worth visiting for the views across to the islands of Belle-Ile and Groix.
The western coast of the peninsula is altogether more dramatic and a popular site with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. While the coast here is very pleasant to explore on foot or by bike, there is also a road that follows this western part of Quiberon and incorporates numerous stopping places, so it is still easy to enjoy the scenery. Include Kervihan, Kerné and Kerniscop for some of the most dramatic scenery. The other main reason that Quiberon attracts visitors is because ferries to the popular islands of Belle-Ile, Ile de Houat and Ile de Hoedic leave from the port here.

Brittany: I love Kerhostin-Beach - QUIBERON 24 Television
Kerhostin Beach is a small sandy cove located north of the peninsula of Quiberon in Saint Pierre Quiberon in a former fishing village on the east coast of the peninsula. It is surrounded by villas and has great charm.
Saint-Pierre Quiberon unfurls along 8km (5 miles) from the isthmus of Penthièvre to the most beautiful sites of the Wild Coast, Port-Blanc, Port-Bara… The canton is nestled on a granite strip bordered on the west by the ocean and on the east by the Bay. The sea is always close, a privilege of the shape of the Quiberon peninsula.

Rue Cambronne Paris Arrondissement 15e
Rue Cambronne
Arrondissement 15e
Quartier Necker et Saint-Lambert
Début Place Cambronne, 4
Fin rue de Vaugirard, 230
Longueur 810 m
Largeur 18 m
En 1730, cette rue était une chaussée plantée de plusieurs rangées de beaux arbres qui formaient une allée ombragée allant de Vaugirard à l'École militaire.
On l'appelait Chaussée pavée ou le pavé de la Folie, du nom d'une maison de campagne.
La rue actuelle, formée en 1800, s'appela rue de l'École-Militaire avant de recevoir en 1864 le nom du général général Pierre Cambronne (1770-1842).
Pierre Jacques Étienne Cambronne est un général d'Empire, né à Nantes (province de Bretagne, France) le 26 décembre 1770 et mort à Nantes le 29 janvier 1842.
Destiné au commerce, il s'enrôle dans un bataillon de grenadiers volontaires nantais en 1792, qui allait se battre en Vendée ; il sert sous les ordres de Dumouriez en Belgique. Durant la Deuxième Chouannerie, il participe à la bataille de Quiberon.
D'une bravoure remarquable, il parvient rapidement au grade de capitaine. La Vendée pacifiée, il s'embarque pour l'expédition d'Irlande sous les ordres de Hoche en 1796.
Il passe ensuite à l'armée des Alpes sous les ordres de Masséna, où il se fait remarquer à la tête d'une compagnie de grenadiers à la bataille de Zurich (1799).
Il passe ensuite à l'armée d'Helvétie, où il enlève une batterie russe avec une poignée d'hommes. Il voit périr à ses côtés La Tour d'Auvergne, et refusa le titre de premier grenadier de France que ses soldats voulaient lui donner.

Pays de la Loire France Travel - La Baule-Escoublac, commonly referred to as La Baule, is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western FranceHistory
In 1779, a violent storm buried the village under sand. La Baule-Escoublac was rebuilt further inland. At that time, the very unstable dunes were occupied only by customs officers, who gave them the name of Bôle, a term indicating an easily flooded maritime meadow.
[edit]Culture
The Grand Prix de la Baule was a Grand Prix motor racing event held here during the 1930s. Today, the Grand Prix de la Ville de La Baule is a prestigious equestrian show jumping competition that is part of the international Equestrian Nations Cup series.
The bay is regarded as the most beautiful in Europe.
The commune of Escoublac has achieved a new vitality with the restoration of its civic center and the installation of many attractions. SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA
