Ile-de-Batz
Ile-de-Batz is found just off the northern coast of Finistere, in western Brittany. It is a small, attractive island just 4km by 2km off the coast near Roscoff.
The ferry crossing is from Roscoff and takes 20 minutes. The island is popular with those wishing to enjoy the many sandy beaches that Batz has to offer.
One highlight of the island is the Garden of George-Delaselle, where thousands of Mediterranean and sub-tropical plants thrive in the warm climate.
Now established for over 100 years, this little piece of sub-tropical paradise brings together plants from Africa, Asia and the Americas. The collection of palm trees particularly is held in high esteem.
The ruins of the Sainte-Anne chapel on the east side of the island are also a popular attraction, dating from the 11th century.
