Guide of the Vendée

Situated off Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and extending over 23 km², the Yeu island has preserved its authenticity and its fishing traditions. Rocky coasts, cliffs, dunes, sandy beaches and hedged farmland make up the scenery. One place of interest not to be missed along the wild coast (côte sauvage): the Old Castle, a 14th-century fortified castle standing opposite the sea that is supposed to have inspired Hergé in his famous Tintin comic book The Black Island. Regular sea links with the Yeu island are offered from La Barre-de-Monts - Fromentine, and seasonal links from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and from the Noirmoutier island.
