La Boutinardiere

Highlight • Other

The trail is currently partially closed due to risk of collapse. 10-minute diversion to find the trail

A large sandy cove protected by cliffs and known for its large rocks and in-water fisheries. A staircase leads to the coastal path.
As with Crève Coeur Beach, which it extends from, it's recommended to visit at high tide, otherwise the sea is very far from the beach.

Crève-Coeur Beach

Highlight • Other

Magnificent sandy beach, bordered by cliffs. Accessible via a gently sloping gravel path. For swimming or taking photos, it's best to do so at high tide, as the sea is far, far away at low tide.

Great coastal path at low tide on the beach and back partly on the cliff path 😎🤩

Very nice walk along the beach. At low tide the return trip is possible on the sand, which is more pleasant than inland where there are some passages on roads with very little space for pedestrians.
With a bit of luck you might see an anonymous bignou player! :-)
