Discovering Noirmoutier and the Isle of Yeu
As you approach the pier on the Isle of Yeu, you will find lots of people who will rent you a bicycle. From here you can follow a well laid-out path around this picture postcard little island.
If you set off from Noirmoutier, you can ‘saddle up’ and follow excursions through villages, marshes, dunes and forests.
