Houat and Hoedic
Environment preserved and change of scenery assured on these wild islands which carry well their name "islands of silence". Here, no cars ...only noise is waves and wind ... In Breton, Houat and Hoëdic mean "duck" and "duckling". But there are many other species of birds that you will cross on the trails of these islands with unique flora and fauna...
Much smaller than Belle-Ile en Mer, the "sister" islands offer walks along the many coastal paths and paths and reveal all their natural riches: sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, moors and dunes, coves and rocky points. You will fall in love with their villages very friendly with their shops (grocery, bakery, restaurants, cafes ...) and their streets full of hollyhocks ...
You will also discover the historical heritage of these islands occupied by man for a long time as evidenced by the presence of many menhirs and dolmens and more recently the construction of several forts Vauban including that of the island of Hoedic which now houses exhibitions on archaeological discoveries, the history of Hoedicans, fauna and flora ...
