The island of Noirmoutier is found off the Vendée coast of western France.

There are two ways to reach Noirmoutier from mainland France - the newer bridge, or the more traditional 'Passage du Gois'. The Passage du Gois is a road that is completely submerged at high tide, hence can only be used at certain times of day.

It is to the north-east of the island, and the town of Noirmoutier-en-Ile, that you will want to travel - it is the traditional port for the island, and also has an interesting 12th century castle and church to visit.

Nearby Herbaudiére, at the north-western tip of the island, is an active fishing port and also centre for various water based leisure activities.

Another of the highlights of the island is the many traditional low buildings with whitewashed walls that you pass as you drive around.

The best beaches (there are more than 50 kilometres in total) are along the western coast, pleasant and sandy, and there are a few traditional villages to enjoy en route. The Chaise forest of oaks and mimosas, running along the coast to the north-east of the island, is also worth visiting and exploring, as are the small forests along the western coast.

If you need more action on Noirmoutier head for Oceanile water park for lots of dramatic water slides, waterfalls and fun for all.

The tourist office can provide you with information about walks on Noirmoutier that will help you best enjoy the nature and the scenery.

Note: you may perhaps recognise the name 'Noirmoutier' - it still has an active salt production role, and provides a great deal of France's table salt.
