Plage de Fort-Bloqué

Fort-Bloqué was built in the 19th century on the spot where a battery intended to repel English assaults once stood. It is accessible on foot at low tide.
The success of a hotel-restaurant on the formerly deserted coast attracted people from Lorient, some of whom settled there. Thus, the current town took shape.

Unmissable on the coast between Ploemeur and Guidel, accessible at low tide but trapped at high tide

After the English siege of Lorient (September 29 to October 10, 1746), which served as a base for the French East India Company, which was in competition with the British East India Company, and which was to be eliminated as a result, and the plundering of the Quiberon peninsula in 1746, the Duc de Penthièvre, Amiral of France and governor of Brittany, commissioned the construction of some fortifications to protect Lorient in 1747.
