Top 29 things to do and attractions in Noirmoutier en l'Ile

Quaint island, fresh food, nice people, lovely place.

We always enjoy our 3 week long visits to the island, it's just perfect for our needs!

A sparkling coastal village.. The light is noticably clear (wear sunglasses). Access to the beach and a tucked away little drop-in, open air wine bar that makes it's own daily pizzas..and great pastries! On the beach road but you'll have to look!

This island is Magic...

Very pretty island,not too crowdy and...only spotted a view NL plates ;-)

Fantastic place. Very growded during summer holidays. Poor road/traffic control with too little focus on all the thousands of bicycle's navigating the island.

Lovely island. Good marina.

Mixed feeling. Beautiful and very scenic beach and pier. Very busy in the summer and unfortunately many cigarette butts and pieces of glass in the sand as well as sharp sea shells. (I cut my feet on glass and on a shell) Trash bins are quite far away which might explain the littering. Parking is very difficult . Toilets in terrible state.

Nice, large beach. Fully possible to swim/bath even in low tide. Several restaurants/brasseries. Very difficult to park, so it is recommended to cycle or walk. Free bus from Nourmoutier centre ville.

Surprising beach... Crystal clear waters and shadows because of rocks and trees. Lots of shells to hunt, shallow waters and hardly any waves. Great for kids. The main beach can be crowded, both sides are more quiet. Come early if you want to park (for free) in the streets before the beach entrance - do not try to park at the beach entrance - its nearly impossible to find a spot. There's a free bus between the beach and Noirmoutier-en-l'Île back and forth every 15 minutes. Definitely a beach to visit a few times.

Excellent beach with safe bathing. Parking just a short walk away through the woods.

One of the most beautiful beach of Atlantic shore

Nice location, looking beautiful 😍 recommend to visit

Very cold water, but beautiful beaches and rocks, as well as a Pier with fishermen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place for a cool stroll when it's hot with its fabulous coves and turquoise waters. Not to be missed (Original) Bel endroit pour se balader à la fraîche lorsqu'il fait chaud avec ses fabuleuses criques et ses eaux turquoises. A ne pas manquer

(Translated by Google) A must-see, extraordinary tourist spot, there is a guide who gives you exceptional information. (Original) À voir absolument lieu touristique extraordinaire il y a du une guide vous donne les informations exceptionnelles

(Translated by Google) The place is cute, great walk to do, the beach is full of seaweed these days (Original) L'endroit est mignon super balade a faire la plage est pleine d'algues a ce jours

(Translated by Google) Passing through Noirmoutier, not too many people, short walk along the seafront (Original) De passage a Noirmoutier, pas trop de monde, petite promenade en bord de mer

(Translated by Google) It was a little sunny today but pleasant. (Original) Ça manquait de soleil ce jour mais agréable

(Translated by Google) Pleasant stroll between shaded paths and beaches (Original) Agréable balade entre sentiers ombragés et plages

(Translated by Google) Quiet place, close to a beach. Too bad the bikes have invaded it. (Original) Lieu tranquille, proche d’une plage. Dommage que les vélos l’aient envahies

Very nice beach.

Lovely spot

Super decor

Super

(Translated by Google) Magnificent, pure and simple! Don't pass by the island of Noirmoutier without taking a walk in the Bois de la Chaise, a postcard at every point of view. For parking in high season, early arrival is recommended. (Original) Magnifique, purement et simplement ! Ne passez pas sur l'île de Noirmoutier sans vous promener dans le bois de la chaise, une carte postale à chaque point de vue. Pour le stationnement en haute saison, une arrivée matinale est conseillée.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, I always went there outside of vacation but, from July 14 to August 15 it must be hell unless you like crowds and bazaars... the island is very nice by bike. Beautiful walks 🔆 (Original) Sympa même très, j' y suis toujours allé hors vacances mais, du 14 juillet au 15 août ça doit être l' enfer sauf si vous aimez la foule et le bazar... l' île est très sympa à vélo. Belles ballades 🔆

(Translated by Google) A superb, relaxing, and wild place in September. A wooded area leads to the magnificent Plage des Dames and its pier. The prettiest beach on the island, in my opinion. (Original) Superbe endroit, reposant, sauvage en septembre. Bois qui amène a la magnifique plage des dames et son estacade. La plus jolie plage de l'île selon moi.

Very small aquarium. We didn't even get to stay for a full hour. Vendee aquarium is much better and for the same price and children can easily spend two hours exploring there. Girl on the ticket desk was very rude which didn't start our experience off good

Nice little aquarium with range of fish etc... Bit different from other places in so much that they have seals which are a bit different. Worth a trip of on area and have kids. Ideal for rainy day

This is a complete fraud! The aquarium is very small and the entrance fee is way to high with 13 euro's for an adult and 10 euro's for a kid. Scandalous!!!

It's a local aquarium with many different fishes, common and tropical. They also have two sea lions for a show.

Over priced for the experience. Plus all the larger animals, sea lions, turtles and sharks appear very unhappy in small enclosures.

Ideal for with small kids because it is not very big but still has a nice collection of animals

Very expensive for the size. If going make sure to see the sea lion show and it makes up for the price.

This is fun for adult and children of all ages. We have been more times than I can count. Kids spend most of their time either diving into the deep end of the pool or on the crazy river. Followed up by a giant chocolate waffle. Would definitely recommend that you check it out!

When my two children pleaded with me to visit Océanile I was unsure if the €100 entry for the four of us (children over 11 are classed as adults) would prove good value for money. My fears were unfounded. We arrived around 1030 shortly after opening (I wouldn't advise arriving later if getting a sunbed is important to you) and found sunbeds before heading toward the rides. There are only around 8 different rides but they are all really good. Three use inflatables and one is a toboggan ride. During peak times there is some queuing – the inflatables in particular – but nothing too arduous. I managed around 35 rides during my visit but my children probably did double that! Picnics are allowed and I would advise popping to the Super U next door and filling a cool bag/box as the on-site prices for food and drink are steep (€2.50 for a 330ml can of Coke). There is a charming separate pool for under 8s and an indoor pool for swimming (and another ride which I didn't go on) too. We stayed all day and even then, leaving was such a wrench we visited again a week later. Well recommended.

This AMAZING water park is the BEST water park i have ever been too. it deserves 5 stars i just lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee it sooooo much! you all must go here people ;) i went on every slide her and in every pool and it was paradise! my favorite is the wave pool and the tunnel slide! i am going here again this summer and i just cant Waite! this is truly the best water park.....

Be careful when you go here because: 1. I dived in the water and scraped my chest on the stoney concrete 2. Because I was here all day, the skin on the bottom of my feet was soft, so walking on the stoney concrete ripped the bottom of my toes and they bled quite a lot

Could do with updating, floors of pools, very rough etc, river Rapids great fun, with flooring very smooth, great with group all going down together, had great day.

For 21 to 26 euros per person it is not very big. There is a few good rides. But as I have said not worth the amount you pay.

Great family day out. Just get there early if you want a sunbed.although we sat happily on the grass

Interesting place, highly recommended for a rainy day. Not too big, so conveniently can be seen with a whole family. Can be a bit crowded. There is also a bird house. The area is not too exciting, but a short drive takes you to a mall and there are salt production places around to visit.

It was a lovely experience especially for the kids. Butterflies kept landing on my son's red cap to his immense enjoyment. There's a pool of friendly Koi Carp who think you're there to feed them, a butterfly hatchery, a pool of Goldfish, a tank of Red Bellied Piranha and Chinese Quall wondering everywhere. You could walk through very quickly and miss loads of things. My advice is take your time, read the plaques, oh and wear a red cap.

A lovely experience with numerous types of exotic butterflies flying around and perching on flowers and fruit feeding stations, the carers of the numerous types of butterflies were so stunning and we were blessed to have butterflies landing on us on Most of the information notices are in English and in French. There are other attractions within including a piranha tank and a bird aviary, plus also a video presentation that we did not watch. The facilities including the reception and the toilets are modern and clean and it’s a real pleasure to visit this wonderful attraction. Visitor numbers were moderate on a September Monday. Refreshments unlimited to a modest selection of soft drinks and a very small selection of ice creams and ice lollies.

Fantastic experience. Amazing to see so many butterflies in one place. Staff are really good and very knowledgeable also.

Very beautifull butterflies. Good for taking pictures

A place to see various species of Butterflies. Not cheap! Tour takes about an hour. Video display at the end.

It's a nice place.But small and pricey for what it is though.

Peaceful, calm clear water, golden sand

Nice beach on NE side of Noirmoutier. Kitesurf allowed in October to April

Nice cosy French beach with good cappucino and tasty crêpes

Offer good swimming lessons in a pool on the beach

Beach can get really small when the tide is high

Cool.

We did the one hour train which goes to the old city and shows some parts of the island we didn't see other wise. The organization of the train is not the best. You can't buy in advance you have to stay there to save a place, there is only one train and if it is full you lost.

(Translated by Google) 1 hour tour with a top driver guide! Joy behind the wheel with a touch of humor where you will discover magnificent places abounding on this magnificent island of Noirmoutier. Don't hesitate. (Original) Circuit d'1h avec un chauffeur guide au top ! De la joie au volant avec une pointe d'humour où vous découvrirez des endroits magnifiques dont regorge cette magnifique île de Noirmoutier. N'hésitez pas.

(Translated by Google) While visiting Noirmoutier-en-l'Île with our two children, aged 6 and 3, we decided to try the 1-hour Noirmout'train tour. It was a pleasant experience, an enriching visit, and quite comfortable for our 3-year-old son, who slept the whole way through 😅 The woman who drives the train tells the island's history with passion and humor; we thought it was fantastic! By the way, madam, hats off to you for your eloquence. The tour is beautiful to see; I highly recommend it. (Original) En visite à Noirmoutier-en-l’Île avec nos 2 enfants de 6 et 3 ans, nous nous sommes penchés sur le circuit d’1h du Noirmout’train. C’était un agréable moment, une visite enrichissante et assez confortable pour notre fils de 3 ans qui a dormi tout du long 😅 La dame qui conduit le train raconte avec passion et humour l’histoire de l’île, nous avons trouver ça génial ! D’ailleurs madame, chapeau pour votre éloquence. Le circuit est beau à voir, je vous le conseille.

(Translated by Google) A very informative and inspiring one-hour tour with a local guide who made us laugh and travel. (Original) Un petit tour d’une heure très instructif et inspirant avec une guide local qui nous fait rire et voyager .

(Translated by Google) Super convenient for a quick tour of the island, you can hear the explanations very well. Too bad you have to fight with people's disrespect to get on the train, between some who push and others who snatch. (Original) Super pratique pour faire un petit tour de l’île, on entends très bien les explications. Dommage que l’on soit obligé de se battre avec l’irrespect des gens pour monter dans le wagons entre certains qui bousculent et d’autres qui grugent.

(Translated by Google) A warm welcome and a very pleasant journey. The guide and driver are super friendly and share the island's history with passion and a touch of humor. We had a great time. Plan to arrive well in advance to secure your spot on the little train... for both of us, it was a close call! (Original) Super accueil et trajet très agréable. La guide et conductrice est super sympa et raconte avec passion et une pointe d'humour l'histoire de l'île. Nous avons passé un très bon moment. Prévoyez d'être bien avant l'horaire pour avoir votre place dans le petit train... pour nous deux, c'était de justesse!

(Translated by Google) Great little train ride to visit the north of the island, my children and I really enjoyed it. The driver explains with passion and humor. Top 👌 (Original) Super petit tour en train pour la visite du nord de l' île, mes enfants et moi avons beaucoup aimé. La conductrice explique avec passion et humour. Au top 👌

(Translated by Google) In a very beautiful historic building, this very recent museum uses modern techniques to publicize the history of the island of Noirmoutier, particularly commercial exchanges thanks to the production of salt, the harvest of oysters, and the fishing of sardines. . It also presents the development of tourism on the island. (Original) Dans un très beau bâtiment historique, ce musée tout récent utilise des techniques modernes pour faire connaître l'histoire de l'île de Noirmoutier notamment les échanges commerciaux grâce à la production de sel, a la récolte d' huîtres, à la pêche des sardines. Il présente également le développement du tourisme dans l'île.

(Translated by Google) Modern and interactive museum which allows you to understand the life of islanders on Noirmoutier, via short videos and touch screens. The restoration of the premises also made it possible to preserve/reproduce the original rooms of the mansion, there are also screens which explain the history of the place. Temporary exhibitions are also on display, currently it is an exhibition which pays tribute to people from the island. (Original) Musée moderne et interactif qui permet de comprendre la vie d'isulaires sur Noirmoutier, via des vidéos courtes et des écrans tactiles. La restauration des lieux à aussi permis de préserver/reproduire des salles originelles de l'hôtel particulier, il y aussi des écrans qui expliquent l'histoire des lieux. Des expos temporaires sont aussi exposées, actuellement il s'agit d'une expos qui rend hommage à des gens de l'île.

(Translated by Google) Museum on the history of the Jacobsen family but also on the island. Its history, its geographical evolution, its particularities... The use of short videos and images taken with drones is a real success. On the other hand, the temporary exhibition on Aboriginal art did not convince me. (Original) Musée sur l'histoire de la famille Jacobsen mais aussi sur l'île. Son histoire, son évolution géographique, ses particularités... L'utilisation de courtes vidéos et d'images prises avec des drones est une vraie réussite. En revanche, l'exposition temporaire sur l'art aborigène ne m'a pas convaincue.

(Translated by Google) A small museum that lives up to expectations!!! Beautiful pieces of 18th century decorative art. I hope you expand your collections!! (Original) Un petit musée à la hauteur !!! De jolies pièces d’art décoratif du 18emes. J’espère que vous agrandirez vos collections !!

(Translated by Google) Very fun visit! Beautiful museum! (Original) Visite tres ludique ! Beau musée !

(Translated by Google) Magnificent renovation of this building, both inside and out. Lots of information on the history and geography of the island, with a very educational approach. The only small criticism is that the ventilation of the upper floor is very insufficient, especially during busy periods... (Original) Magnifique rénovation de ce bâtiment, aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Beaucoup d’informations sur l'histoire et la géographie de l'île, avec une approche très pédagogique. Seul petit reproche, la ventilation de l'étage très insuffisante notamment en période de forte affluence...

(Translated by Google) For me, unfortunately, a big disappointment! I find the museography "cold and empty". Some objects are "well presented" behind the windows (more symbolic than anything else), it is very interactive (screens and videos everywhere), spaces crossed are more or less empty (that's my feeling anyway). However, the place is quite sumptuous (vestibule and staircase in particular), it would surely have deserved another destination for the public! Too bad... 25 years of tourism and hundreds of museums under my belt. (Original) Pour moi , hélas , une grosse déception ! je trouve la muséographie "froide et vide ".Quelques objets sont "bien présentés" derrière les vitrines (plus symboliques qu'autre chose ) , c'est très interactif (écrans et vidéos à tout va) , des espaces traversés sont plus ou moins vides ( c'est mon ressenti en tout cas ) .Pourtant , le lieu est assez somptueux ( vestibule et escalier notamment ) , il aurait sûrement mérité une autre destination pour le public ! Dommage ... 25 ans de tourisme et des centaines de musées dans les pattes .

Loved this beach ❤️

Quiet

(Translated by Google) At the hamlet of Vieil, we find the Mardi Gras beach of Noirmoutier which is an extension of Clère beach. Very popular with families, this central beach is ideal for swimming (few rocks in the central part even at low tide).  It is also an anchorage area. In season, there is a nautical center there. It is on this beach that the film César et Rosalie was filmed in 1972 (with Yves Montand and Romy Schneider, the film also takes place in Paris and Sète). To get to this beach, reach the hamlet of Vieil then follow Rue de Mardi Gras which leads directly onto this beach. No parking. (Original) Au niveau du hameau du Vieil, on trouve la plage de Mardi Gras de Noirmoutier qui se trouve dans le prolongement de la plage de la Clère. Avec une fréquentation très familiale, cette plage centrale est idéale pour la baignade (peu de rochers dans la partie centrale même à marée basse).  C’est également une zone de mouillage. En saison, on y trouve un centre nautique. C’est sur cette plage que le film César et Rosalie a été tourné en 1972 (avec Yves Montand et Romy Schneider, le film se déroule également à Paris et Sète). Pour se rendre sur cette plage, rejoindre le hameau du Vieil puis suivre la rue de Mardi Gras qui donne directement sur cette plage. Pas de parking.

(Translated by Google) Great beach 🏖️ (Original) Super plage 🏖️

(Translated by Google) Quietly secluded, this beach is magnificent for walking but also for relaxing for a moment. Very pleasant thick sand beach. We feel good there. Parking facilities. Sheltered from the tourist waves. I recommend again (Original) Calme retirée,cette plage est magnifique ppur se balader mais aussi pour se poser un moment. Plage de sable épais tres agreable. On sy sent bien. Facilités de stationnement. A l abri des vagues touristiques. Je rexommande

(Translated by Google) A somewhat isolated beach, overlooked by the Plantier Tower. This tower is a beautiful building built by a doctor in 1861. It almost looks like a lighthouse. The cabins date from the same period and add character to this wonderful spot. Come early in the morning and you'll enjoy the magnificent light, and there won't be anyone around. (Original) Une plage un peu isolée dont la tour Plantier semble surveiller. Cette tour est une belle bâtisse construite par un médecin en 1861. On dirait presque un phare. Les cabines datent de la même époque et donnent un cachet à cet endroit merveilleux. Venez tôt le matin et vous profiterez d'une lumière magnifique et il n'y aura personne.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent beach. Accessible via a wooded path that runs along the beaches or via Plage des Dames at low tide. (Original) Magnifique plage. Accessible par un chemin boisé qui longe les plages ou par la plage des dames à marée basse.

(Translated by Google) Swimming is possible even at low tide. Quieter than the large beach at Bois des Dames. Come in the morning to secure a good spot. (Original) Baignade possible même à marée basse. Plus calme que la grande plage du bois des dames. Venir le matin pour avoir une bonne place

(Translated by Google) Okay, there is the Plage des Dames, but my preference goes to this one, the Plage de l'Anse Rouge, which is more intimate and charming. (Original) D'accord, il y a la plage des Dames, mais ma préférence va à celle-ci, la plage de l'anse rouge, plus intimiste et charmante.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant beach, a bit of a bourgeois atmosphere but not too much with the big shacks on the path. You can sit in the shade, there is space to park your bikes and what's more the water is good. What a pleasure after cycling in 35°C to soak your feet on this beach, which is very pleasant indeed. (Original) Plage très agréable un peu ambiance bourgeoise mais pas trop avec les grosses baraques sur le chemin. On peut se mettre à l'ombre, il y a de la place pour poser ses vélos et en plus l'eau est bonne. Quel plaisir après avoir fait du vélo sous 35°C de se tremper les petons sur cette plage ma foi très sympathique.

(Translated by Google) A tour full of humor, insight, and sharing. We felt Laurence's enthusiasm and passion for her work. We looked online for a salt marsh tour and came across Laurence's website, which accepted our visit, even though we announced it late. Lots of quality products are available at the end of the tour! A delight for the taste buds! (Original) Une visite pleine d'humour, de pédagogie et de partage On sent l'enthousiasme de Laurence et sa passion pour son travail Nous avons regardé sur internet pour visiter un marais salant, nous sommes tombés sur le site de Laurence qui a accepté notre venue, même annoncée tard Plein de produits de qualités sont a disposition en sortie de visite ! De quoi ravir les papilles 🤤

(Translated by Google) We had the chance to visit a salt marsh on the island of Noirmoutier with Laurence. She explained to us with passion and clarity how salt is harvested. As she was about to close, she very kindly offered to let us come back the next day for a real guided tour. A warm welcome, a wonderful discovery, and of course we left with some salt! Thank you for this authentic experience. (Original) Nous avons eu la chance de visiter un marais salant sur l’île de Noirmoutier avec Laurence.

Un accueil chaleureux, une belle découverte, et bien sûr nous sommes repartis avec du sel ! Merci pour ce moment authentique.

(Translated by Google) A fascinating visit to the Cholleaux salt marshes by Laurence with our family and our two children. A great teacher and patient, she takes the time to let the children answer questions first, which makes the experience even more lively and interactive. Laurence is one of the few women working as a salt worker on the island, and her passion is infectious. We learn a lot, from harvesting salt to creating and renovating a salt marsh. All in a bucolic and peaceful setting. A wonderful experience, which we recommend without hesitation. (Original) Une visite passionnante aux marais salants des Cholleaux par Laurence en famille avec nos deux enfants. Pédagogue et patiente, elle prend le temps de laisser d’abord les enfants répondre aux questions, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus vivante et interactive.

Fabulous location to watch washing birds.

Very beautiful

(Translated by Google) If you want to watch birds (and listen to them!), admire the colors of the marshes, this is the perfect place. A very pleasant walk along Jacobsen Pier, with few pedestrians even on this July day. (Original) Si vous voulez observer les oiseaux (et les écouter !), admirez les couleurs des marais, c'est l'endroit parfait. Promenade très agréable sur la jetée Jacobsen, peu de piétons même en cette journée de juillet.

(Translated by Google) A vibrant natural space spanning approximately 50 hectares, the Mülembourg Nature Reserve is home to numerous animal and plant species. From the top of the promenade, you can observe life on the mudflats and marshes, as well as the work of the salt workers. It's a beautiful place of ecological interest. (Original) Espace naturel vivant sur environ 50 hectares, la réserve naturelle du Mülembourg est le refuge de nombreuses espèces animales et végétales. Du haut de la promenade, on peut observer la vie sur les vasières et les marais ainsi que le travail des sauniers. C'est un bel endroit d'intérêt écologique.

(Translated by Google) But what a blast! Croquette terns, elegant soaps, and even Danette sandpipers as far as the eye can see. However, for those allergic to pollen in May, I'm warning you, it's a real nostril ache; it's not a pretty sight! Bring binoculars and a supply of tissues for an experience you won't soon forget. (Original) Mais quel banger ! Des sternes croquettes, des savonnettes élégantes et même des chevaliers danette à perte de vue. Par contre pour les allergiques au pollen au mois de mai je préviens ça défonce les naseaux c’est pas beau à voir ! Jumelles et stock de mouchoirs à prévoir pour une expérience qu’on est pas près d’oublier.

A good day out only takes about 90 minutes to go around the castle we went on a Tuesday and there was a craft market in one of the town car parks

A relatively small castle but interesting with wonderful views from the top. The neighbouring church of Saint Philbert is also well worth visiting.

Well worth paying to get in to see the castle interior. The museum displays are excellent! It’s great to just walk around the castle courtyard.

We visited the inner courtyard as the main keep was unfortunately closed at the time we visited. Used Google translate to read the visitor noticeboards and found the references to HMSMaidstone very interesting.

It is a nice place to visit. Kid friendly and takes about an hour to go around. There are interesting exhibits and of course the building itself is also worth seeing. From the top there is an excellent view of the island. The castle is close to the town center which allows shopping and dining very close by and in a short walk there is the port, which is also worth seeing.

Lovely place to visit especially for the view at the top. The castle and the islands history is told throughout. I don't speak very good French but I did understand what happened there. It was nice to have a history lesson of this part of the beautiful France.

You can not go in with dogs but nice to enjoy a game of chess in the courtyard

Dare to find George in the presence of the Manson family, your wits and brains will be tested 😱😳😬

Super! 5 stars!

Super

Excellent!!

Escape game Manson family excellent!!!

Excellent escape game

(Translated by Google) Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the church appears ordinary from the outside. However, it contains several gems inside. The splendid altarpiece of the Rosary, the crypt of Saint Philbert, wooden vaults, a 1/30th century model of the sailing ship St Philbert... Don't miss the chance to visit. (Original) Détruite et reconstruite plusieurs fois, l église est d apparence banale vue de l'extérieur. Elle recèle pourtant plusieurs joyaux à l'intérieur. Splendide rétable du Rosaire, crypte de Saint Philbert, voûtes en boiserie, maquette au 1//30 ème du vaisseau à voile St Philbert ... Ne pas manquer de la visiter.

(Translated by Google) The bell tower of this beautiful church is visible from afar when walking around Noirmoutier Island. It is located right next to the medieval castle, which we didn't want to visit. The interior of the church is quite plain. What stands out upon entering is the beautiful wooden vault in the shape of an upside-down boat hull. There are also two beautiful stone altarpieces on either side of the choir. (Original) Le clocher de cette belle église est visible de loin quand on se promène sur l'île de Noirmoutier. Elle est située juste à côté du château médiéval que nous n'avons pas souhaité visiter. L'intérieur de l'église est assez sobre. Ce qu'on remarque en entrant c'est la belle voûte en bois en forme de coque de bateau renversée. Il y a aussi deux beaux retables en pierre de chaque côté du chœur.

(Translated by Google) A church of great beauty with its vault shaped like a boat hull and what can we say about the crypt: magnificent. (Original) Une église d’une grande beauté avec sa voûte en forme de coque de bateau et que dire de la crypte : magnifique.

Très belle nef voûtée de bois avec deux latéraux de style gothique. Magnifique autel. Façade sobre voir un peu austère. Belle église à visiter.

(Translated by Google) The current church stands on the site of the abbey church founded by Saint Philbert in the 7th century. The crypt - classified as a historic monument and located under the choir - housed the body of Saint Philbert until the middle of the 9th century. (Original) L’actuelle église s’élève à l’emplacement de l’église de l’abbaye fondée par Saint Philbert au VIIe siècle. La crypte - classée monument historique et située sous le chœur - a accueilli le corps de Saint Philbert jusqu’au milieu du IXe siècle.

(Translated by Google) Medieval church with a Romanesque structure, the monks took refuge there fleeing the Viking raids, it is an imposing construction where you can observe the construction or rehabilitation as if it were the structure of a ship, it has a chapel in the basement dedicated to ST. Filiberto, which I particularly liked and made me feel the conjunction between the medieval and the Roman, is well worth the visit! (Original) Iglesia medieval con estructura Romanica, los monjes se refugiaron ahí huyendo de las incursiones vikingas, es una imponente construcción dónde se puede observar la construcción o rehabilitación como si fuera la estructura de un barco, cuenta con una capilla en el sótano dedicada a ST. Filiberto que particularmente me gustó y me hizo sentir la conjunción entre lo medieval y lo Romano vale mucho la visita!

(Translated by Google) The church, whose ceiling represents the hull of the boat present at the entrance. The first church was founded by Saint Philbert in the 7th century. Under the heart is the crypt which housed Saint Philbert until the middle of the 9th century. (Original) L’église, dont le plafond représente la coque du bateau présent à l'entrée de celle-ci. La première église fut fondée par Saint Philbert au VIIe siècle. Sous le cœur se situe la crypte qui a accueilli Saint Philbert jusqu’au milieu du IXe siècle.

(Translated by Google) Quiet beach in June, calm and temperate water, pleasant before July and August (Original) Plage tranquille en juin, calme et eau tempéré , agréable avant juillet aout

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful wild beaches in Noirmoutier. Idyllic for fishing at low tide and great for swimming at good tides. During my visit on 09/09/2022 the water temperature was... 20°. To visit as well as the streets of this small village. Top outside of July and August. (Original) Une des plus belles plages sauvages de Noirmoutier. Idyllique pour la pêche à marée basse et top pour la baignade à marée à bon coefficient. Lors de mon passage le 09/09/2022 la température de l'eau était à... 20°. A visiter ainsi que les ruelles de ce petit village. Top en dehors de juillet et Août.

Wonderful visit .walk out. See a lot of fishermen. The sea water is very clear. Very different feel look to the beach from the jetty.beautiful. sky is beautiful.

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, Bois de la Chaise and its surroundings are among the most beautiful places in Noirmoutier. It took us a good hour to walk there from Noirmoutier-en-l'Île. Once we arrived at Plage des Dames, I really regretted not bringing our swimsuits that day. Seeing the fine sand, the large rocks, and the translucent water, we almost felt like we were in the tropics, far from the Atlantic coast of Vendée. It was a real change of scenery. In the absence of a swim, I took a walk along the pier, a large wooden pontoon popular with fishermen, which allows us to be close to the water and enjoy a beautiful panorama of the entire coast. (Original) Selon moi, le Bois de la Chaise et ses environs font partie des plus beaux endroits de Noirmoutier. Ça nous a pris une bonne heure pour y aller à pied à partir de Noirmoutier-en-l'Île. Une fois arrivés face à la plage des Dames, j'ai fortement regretté que nous n'ayons pas pris nos maillots de bains ce jour-là. En voyant ce sable fin, ces grands rochers et cette eau translucide, on avait presque l'impression de se trouver sous les tropiques, loin de la côte atlantique vendéenne. C'était très dépaysant. A défaut de baignade, j'ai fait la promenade sur l'estacade, ce grand ponton de bois prisé des pêcheurs, qui permet à la fois d'être tout proche de l'eau et d'avoir un beau panorama sur toute la côte.

(Translated by Google) A pretty pier on the sea. The wooden construction dates from 1885 and seems to be holding up. At the very end of the pier, very nice view of the beaches. Quite a few fishermen on deck, catching absolutely tiny but numerous fish. The walk is therefore worth the detour. (Original) Une jolie jetée sur la mer. La construction en bois date de 1885 et semble tenir le coup. Tout au bout de la jetée, très jolie vue sur les plages. Pas mal de pêcheurs sur le pont, qui pêchent des poissons absolument minuscules mais nombreux. La ballade vaut donc le détour.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent, must-see spot on the island of Noirmoutier. Access by vehicle is not convenient, so plan to park well back and take a short walk to get there, especially during peak season. This optimizes travel by bicycle. (Original) Magnifique lieu incontournable de l'île de noirmoutier. Accès en véhicule pas pratique donc prévoir le parking bien en retrait et une petite marche pour s'y rendre surtout en haute saison. Optimisation des déplacements en vélo par conséquence.
