Presqu’île de Quiberon, literally translated as “almost island”, is a very long ‘spit’ which sticks out into the Atlantic from South Brittany.
It didn’t take us long to get there from Josselin, but it was as far South as we were headed on this trip, so it marked a way-point for us. It was absolutely scorching as we drove down the long road to the end of the peninsula. We were grateful to get to the Aire and book our place for the night before quickly heading into town, then (most importantly) to the beach. This Aire (N47°29.500' W003°08.334', ‘All the Aires FR 2014':BRITTANY207) had a barrier system, which we met for the first time here: you have to use a credit or debit card to pay for your entry ticket & code (which was 6 Euros) and water if you need it (which was 2 Euros). This was easy enough to use as you could select English as the language setting, and did give us re-assurance that when we came back in the evening, there would still be a place for us.
Quiberon has beaches up and down both sides, so we were spoilt for choice, but we settled for Port Rhu that day, a tiny bay not unlike Porthcurno in Cornwall. It was so beautiful, and we were all very excited to get into the refreshing sea (Tini and Mr.LoD got straight in, I tend to gingerly paddle up to my legs). There’s a big rock not far from the shore that locals were swimming to and cliff-diving from, which was fun to watch. Tini played with her new beach bat and ball set (the type with the velcro bats), I’d fully recommend purchasing one of these games if you go away with a family, it was used nearly every day!
