Grand Vieil Beach on the coast of Noirmoutier Island is a great place for cycle tourists. It is known for its golden sand and clear, shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for a quick swim or a relaxing break.

A short ride on an electric fat bike (in eco mode to pedal a bit) with a nasty flat tire, a 1 cm diameter piece of mud.
Back home with my darling's bike to pick up the car.
The island tour isn't over yet.

Today we cycled around the island of Noirmoutier, there are a few nice beach sections, a stretch through a nature reserve, but otherwise no particular highlights, I probably wouldn't do it again like this.

I recommend L'Ile de Noirmoutier 👏

In the morning a short drive to the bakery (about 1.7 km), baguettes, croissants and tarts bought - oh how delicious.
Then it was time to explore the island, which is partly below sea level - starting from our pitch in Barbâtre, then to La Guérinière (a small weekly market was held here), then to L'Épine, past a large number …

A geographical feature of the elongated tidal island is the fact that a large part of its area lies below the sea level. It is fairly flat, but has a rocky coast in the north and also beautiful sandy beaches 🏖. When the tide is low, the island can be reached via the 4½ kilometer long paved road “Passage du …
