ERQUY. (22)
Seven beaches, a shellfish port, a warm
friendly atmosphere and magnificent walks make Erquy known as the
"station familiale" of the Emerald coast. In the 19th
century a number of historians believed that it was located on the
alleged site of Reginea, a former Gallo-Roman settlement.On the edge
of the road leading to Cap d'Erquy stand two small guardrooms which
are the remains of Vauban's fortifications. A curious construction
nearby is a very rare example of a cannonball factory whose purpose
was to manufacture cannonballs for the artillery batteries to fire at
the approaching English ships.
