Ile-d'Houat

The landscape around Île-d'Houat is a low, narrow Atlantic island of rocky shores, sandy coves and open heath, which has shaped both its compact settlement pattern and long maritime economy. Off Brittany’s Morbihan coast, it lies in the waters between the Quiberon Peninsula and Belle-Île-en-Mer. The island’s only village, Saint-Gildas, clusters around its harbour, with ferry connections maintaining an essential link to the mainland. Known as Houad in Breton, Île-d'Houat retains a distinct island character on a small and walkable scale. See how Île-d'Houat belongs to the wider southern Brittany coast by browsing webcams nearby.
