To see, to do on Noirmoutier
The Island of Noirmoutier benefits from a micro climate offering a vegetation comparable to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, it is also called "the Island of mimosas".
The Island of Noirmoutier is connected to the main land by a bridge, but also by the astonishing Passage du Gois, a flooded passage that can only be crossed at low tide... A unique phenomenon in Europe!
As an island with multiple facets, Noirmoutier offers marine savours, its land of salt and forests, fine sand beaches, colourful alleyways, white houses with blue shutters, a castle, picturesque harbours, products of the land and the sea...
In the wood of La Chaise you'll find the so typical villas of Noirmoutier with white chalked walls and pink tiles.
Noirmoutier can be discovered all year round, preferably by bike or on foot, for an unforgettable visit filled with insular colours and savours.
