The place not to be missed when visiting the island. An air of the end of the world at high tide, a real experience at low tide. The crossing by bike is nice, despite the algae, the slippery cobblestones and the many cars in summer.

Madeleine Beach on the island of Noirmoutier is located in the north of the island near the Bois de la Blanche (private property) on the edge of the hamlet of La Madeleine and near Le Vieil. It is not the most famous beach on the island but remains very pleasant at high tide (at low tide there are many rocks that are exposed) because there is shade there. Don't forget to stroll through the alleys of the hamlets of Le Vieil and La Madeleine which have remained quite typical. https://www.plages.tv/detail/plage-de-la-madeleine-noirmoutier-en-l-ile-85330

This charming little church, located on a bend (the village developed around the building), was built in the 11th century, at the end of the Norman invasions. It evolved in the 12th, 14th and 19th centuries to find its current form. It marks the location of the first priory built by Philbert in the 9th century and destroyed by the Normans.
