Quiberon, yep, been there in 2006 and we stayed right at the very far tip of the Quiberon Peninsula near to the beach, the wild coast or la Côte Sauvage. An idyllic setting and a lovely campsite but unfortunately the mobile home we were in, belonging to a French company no less, was a nightmare. I complained and we got our second week upgraded to one of their cottage type mobiles in St Jean de Monts for nothing - and that's what I call a mobile home holiday, though the darn thing was so big there was nothing mobile about it!
Now then, Matthews Holidays, a very reputable UK company, have some mobile holiday homes in le Conguel and here's part of their webpage for that site.
"Here is a superb campsite with excellent facilities for all the family. The campsite is situated in an idyllic location at the tip of the Quiberon Peninsula. Opposite the entrance to Le Conguel is a sandy beach which is ideal for children. There are plenty of shallow rock pools at low tide to keep children busy hunting for small fish and crabs. For those interested in sailing or windsurfing, there is plenty of opportunity as the sea is protected by the peninsula making conditions ideal."
I will bet diamonds that the Matthews mobile homes are far better that the one we stayed in on a neighbouring camp site in 2006.
I have added a link to the Quiberon Tourism website because they know the area better than I do, and it it certainly worth a look at that site before you go, and if you are in doubt about how to get there then a look at Maporama which will help you. We travelled down from St Malo which is very roughly 125 miles away - to be fair you just can't miss the place because the French road signs are so much better than ours here in UK.
Quiberon town is effectively split into two parts by a steep hill. The main shopping area is at the top of the town around the post office, but there are also shops as you wander down hill to the bottom where there are lovely liittle side roads with shops in hidden away corners. When we went in 2006 we thought that general shopping in Quiberon was just a tad more expensive than we were used to, and the supermarket was a couple of miles away, but on the plus side they did at least sell those scrummy Breton sausages! |
