Les Iles de Chausey

We spent a day on the tiny island of Chausey, which is about an hour by boat from the coast of Normandy. We embarked from Granville in the fog, but once we arrived we had spectacular weather. The island has only 1 store and about 50 full-time inhabitants.

Adeline, Elodie, Damien and Brendan on the trail that leads around the coast.




We picnicked on the beach.


At low-tide, you can walk far out from the coast.


The island was covered in beautiful yellow flowers.


There are a few cottages.


Granville is a chic seaside town.


The sheep of the pré-salé graze on grass that is covered by the sea some of the time, giving their meat a unique flavor.
