construction, namely the sandstone. Erquy is a very popular seaside
resort luckily not to the detriment of its charm and its authenticity. |
 Erquy - Plage de sable fin
history of Erquy is based on a legend. It would have been built on an
antique city named "Nazado" wich would have disappeared under water.
The marking fact of Erquy’s history comes from the chouannery era.
Royalist emigrants were stopped in the area with secret plans of a
disembarkment in Quiberon. This tragedy is the anteroom of the disaster
of Quiberon which will see the devastation of the officers of the
French navy. Nowadays, Erquy owes its reputation to the fishing of
saint |
Jacques shells. A fishing activity which remains extremely
regulated in order to preserve the specie. This fishing only occurs
during the winter months between November and March. Moreover, this
mollusc is at the basis of the typical gastronomy of Erquy. Otherwise,
the principal tourist attraction of Erquy remains its cap and the
strolls along the coast. This still wild coast offers some sublime
landscapes. |
