Noirmoutier

The island of Noirmoutier, nicknamed “l’île aux mimosas” (the mimosa island) for its mild climate, which allows the mimosas to bloom in winter, is a multi-faceted territory, with landscapes of salt marshes, dunes, forests, sandy beaches and whitewashed houses covered in pink tiles. Bring your bike or rent one and explore the island’s many cycle paths, admiring the breathtaking ocean views. The Ile d’Yeu is packed with exceptional sites, a rich heritage and unspoilt natural areas to discover on foot or by bike. Its bustling fishing port livens up the quays of Port-Joinville, with its ballet of colorful fishing boats and its fish market.
