Ile d’Ouessant
Ile d’Ouessant
This wild and beautiful island epitomises the rugged Brittany coast. An old local saying ‘Qui voit Ouessant voit son sang’ (’He who sees Ouessant sees his blood’) expresses its untamed nature, inspired by its powerful currents and treacherous rocks. There are stunning walks and amazing scenery.
Lampaul is the main village of the island, but it is only a tiny huddle; the most interesting things to do here are to visit the phares (lighthouses) and to walk along the island’s rocky coastline.
