Quiberon, Coastal commune in Morbihan, France
The Quiberon peninsula extends for 8 kilometers into the Atlantic Ocean, featuring sandy beaches, cliffs, and natural rock formations along its coastline.
In 1795, French Royalist forces attempted an invasion at Quiberon Bay, resulting in a defeat by Revolutionary troops led by General Lazare Hoche.
The local food traditions center on seafood specialties, including fresh-caught fish, sardines, and regional Breton dishes prepared in coastal restaurants.
The commune provides transportation access through a seasonal train service connecting to Auray, with additional connections to major French cities.
The 19th century saw Quiberon transform from a fishing port into a leading sardine production center following Nicolas Appert's food preservation innovations.
