Discovering
the Île d'Yeu
In the heart of
the Île d'Yeu
Located just off the Vendée coast of western France, the Île d'Yeu is a beautifully unspoilt haven conducive to daydreaming.
Its varied terrain, which can be explored via bike rides throughout the year, is exquisite.
Close to the harbour settlement of Port-Joinville on the island’s north coast, La Mission can be found in the village of Saint-Sauveur. All paths lead to this village, making it the crossroads of this picturesque island.
