Quiberon is at the tip of a thin presqu‘île (peninsula) jutting
out into the Atlantic; it has a fabulous beach, and you can relive your
childhood eating salt water taffy from the boardwalk shops and freshly
made gauffres (waffles) sprinkled
with powdered sugar. The beach here is long and sandy, with a great swimming
area and a delightful boardwalk full of beach-resort kind of shops and
restaurants. In addition, while the sandy beach is great for working on your
tan and taking a dip, the Côte Sauvage is just a few kms
away with rocky coastlines, cliffs and coves that make for some fantastic photo
ops. Quiberon is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in
north-western France. It is situated on the southern part of
a peninsula of Quiberon, the northern part being the commune of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon.
It is primarily known as a seaside resort for the French during summer, and for
its history of sardine production. Quiberon has a wide sandy beach called
the Grande Plage that is ideal for sunbathing and swimming during the warm
summer months. Spanning this beach is also a boardwalk lined with kitschy
boutiques, gaufre and crêpe stands, candy shops selling salt water taffy
and more. In the summer, the boardwalk and beach are often jam-packed with
people shopping and soaking up the sun.
