The Gois passage is a 4.5-kilometre long submersible road which connects at low tide the Noirmoutier island to Beauvoir-sur-Mer on the continent. Before the Noirmoutier bridge was built in 1971, the Gois passage was the only passable way allowing to reach the island. Today a tourist Mecca, the Gois passage is also enjoyed by fishermen on foot. In rising tide, the Cardinal marks which border the Gois passage are very helpful for the foolhardy persons who were not able to reach the coast back in time. An unusual sports event is held in May, the Foulées du Gois, which is a running race on the Gois passage… in rising tide! |
