QUIBERON
 


Quiberon is a peninsula at the south coast of Brittany, France. Located at the tip of the peninsula is the small town of Quiberon.

The Bay of Quiberon has seen quite some action. Here, Julius Caesar brought the rebellion of the Veneti to an end in 56 BC.

In 1759, the British defeated the French at the naval Battle of Quiberon Bay. This battle was part of the Seven Years' War.

Just a few years later, French revolutionaries defeated French royalists at the Battle of Quiberon Bay in 1795.
