TOURS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Annabelle, Pauline and the guides of the heritage department of L'Île-d'Yeu town know their island, its history, its habits and customs inside out, as well as lots of stories everyday life.
During the winter months they work hard perfecting their tours and creating new ones to make sure all the treasures of the island can be shown in their best light.
In addition to the classic tours, such as visiting the Vieux Chateau, the Grand Phare lighthouse or Saint-Sauveur, new tours have been developed on the theme of nature. Activities for families, from cockle fishing to treasure hunts, attract more and more fans every year.
Our guides will tell you about the history of the island and its everyday life.
Please be aware that our tours have become so successful that you really need to book in advance- as soon as the program of the year comes out is best. This is the best way to guarantee being able to visit the island with a specialist guide.
