Noirmoutier in spring is not the same as it is in autumn or summer: each season has its own unique atmosphere. The perfect reason to visit time and time again!
It is not possible to talk about Noirmoutier without mentioning the Passage du Gois, a route that magically appears and disappears following the tides. This extraordinary natural phenomenon should be seen at least once in a lifetime.
And, if the weather is not in your favour, no worries! There is plenty to do if it rains: museum, shows or even a gourmet experience around a regional speciality. That’s right, it does count as an activity!
Did you know? The Bonnotte potato grown on the island is one of the most delicious in the world. Be sure to try it at every opportunity!
