Practical information about My Home In Noirmoutier
My Home In Noirmoutier in a few:
This island of the Atlantic Ocean located in the northwest of the Vendee and connected to the mainland by the Passage du Gois, a real "under the sea road " emblematic of the Vendée is also accessible by a bridge since 1971. Stretching over 48 Km2, it is made up of a rocky islet to the north, salt marshes to the south and a dune cord connecting these two ends and offering diverse landscapes to be discovered by bike, the island being a real paradise for lovers of bicycle with its 80 km of bike paths!
