Port of Île-aux-Moines

An island that is not very wild, very gentrified and full of tourists. There is a better choice for nature lovers (to be avoided in high season)!

Boardwalk over the Salt Marshes on Île-aux-Moines

Highlight • Bridge

On the coastal path of Île-aux-Moines, in Morbihan, a wooden pontoon overlooks the salt marshes. Accessible on foot, this place is perfect for observing the birds that populate these wetlands, with a clear view of the vegetation typical of the Breton coastline. The contrast between the marshes and the clear waters of the Gulf of Morbihan is particularly attractive.

The Monks' Island (Ile-aux-Moines) is the largest of the numerous islands in the Gulf of Morbihan, which forms a kind of inland sea ("mor bihan" = "small sea", also the name of the department). The roughly cross-shaped island fits the name, even if the former monks were displaced by Parisian tourists who can afford a summer house here. At this …
