Good habits for a responsible stay on the islands
02 August 2023
The islands of Morbihan — Belle-Île-en-Mer, Houat, Hoëdic, and Groix — charm visitors in every season with their turquoise waters, microclimates, secluded coves, and vast white sandy beaches.
True invitations to travel, these islands can see their population multiply by ten in summer. For instance, Belle-Île-en-Mer has around 6,000 year-round residents, but welcomes nearly 450,000 visitors during July and August alone.
This influx, over a short period, also brings harmful consequences for the islands.
