ONE DAY, TWO ITINERARIES TO CHOOSE FROM
It’s possible to visit Noirmoutier Island in a day, thanks to the two routes we have prepared for you that will take you past the must-see sites on the island. Enjoy your day trip !
REMINDER :
Are you coming by car? You can reach Noirmoutier Island via:
- the Gois Passage, a 4.3 km long, sometimes flooded road that can only be taken at low tide;
- the bridge to the island, free and open 24/7.
Before you get to the island, check the tide tables to figure out which of these two options you can take.
Polder de Sébastopol - Trendz
Discover this 4.2 km submersible route. Crossing it at low tide is a unique and unforgettable experience!
Take a stroll through this regional nature reserve, a prime birdwatching area and close to the famous Passage du Gois. Enjoy this unspoilt landscape, taking care not to disturb the terns, seagulls and waders!
The medieval castle-museum, the old quarter of Banzeau, the town houses, the lively shipyards in the old heritage port with its traditional old sailing ships... discover the historic heart of Noirmoutier-en-l'île, awarded the "Petite Cité de Caractère" label in 2022.
Stroll through the Mullembourg nature reserve, near the Jacobsen jetty, and enjoy the lively market, shops, restaurants, bars and cafés in the town centre..
Stroll through this exceptional forest: historic villas, beaches and coves with typical white cabins, holm oak woods, arbutus and maritime pines, with the sea as a backdrop... a landscape full of contrasts!
Visit the old village of Le Vieil: charming typical houses, some with their feet in the water, quiet little beaches and coves, and picturesque narrow streets.
Soak up the atmosphere of this fishing and yachting harbour, a window onto the ocean that's perfect for a stroll. Watch the fishing boats from the top of the yellow observation deck (above the fish auction), and enjoy the bars and restaurants with views over the harbour.
The island's white gold, a haven for birds, plant species and cycling. The salt marshes are open to visitors in summer. All year round, enjoy a walk through the salt marshes with a change of scenery!
A town nestling between the sea, woods and salt marshes, with its beaching port, the Port de Morin... L'Epine is a gateway to the ocean.
Another facet of the island, with its maritime pines and sandy paths. The Bois des Eloux is ideal for walks, running and picnics.
Mills, houses and foreshore bear witness to the traditional activities of the island.
A very typical oyster port with its oyster huts. You can buy oysters, mussels and other shellfish here... or sample them on the spot!
