5 reviews of Groix Island

Amazing views

It only takes more or less forty five minutes to reach Groisillon. So come on, get going!! Are you willing to bike up hills, eat grilled sardines with your fingers and sing in cafes? Then you are in the perfect place. The saying that "anyone who sees groix, sees happiness." Is true. Groix is ​​a natural miracle for geologists, who are surprised with sixty varieties of minerals on the island. The tip of Pen-Men, with its lighthouse square, is within the rugged coastline. The trails are dotted with gorse and heather, leading to the Trou de l'Enfer (hell hole), where the sea roars through a crack in the cliff.

A thunderous sound that leaves you stunned and it inspired a legend where the sea and a man fought in a battle for survival. The Grands-Sables beach is wonderful: it is the only European convex beach of fine sand, with all the nuances of garnet to black and transparent waters. The exquisite beach of Sables Rouges is tinged with maroon. The coast becomes rough, but Poulziorec is an oasis that sits at the end of a steep road. I assure you that this place is well worth the effort it takes to get here and you will enjoy all it has to offer its visitors. So come on, we are waiting for your visit!

Charmante petit île imprégnée de contes et d'histoire comme seule la Bretagne sait nous raconter. Bercée par les récits des pêcheurs, on n'échappe pas aux légendes sur les korrigans qui aurait donné aux pêcheurs de l'île la girouette de l'église qui a pour forme un thon au lieu de la flèche ou du coq habituel. L'île a, également, ses menhirs et dolmens ainsi que le charme indéfinissable de sa végétation et de ses plages. L'île de Groix accueille une faune particulière : Phénomène rare sur une île, on peut trouver de nombreux crapauds ! Il y avait également beaucoup de lapins, mais les chats, néocolonisateurs de l'île, font que nos amis à grandes oreilles sont de moins en moins nombreux...
Charming little island steeped in stories and history as one of Britain knows how to tell us. Cradled by the stories of fishermen, we can not escape the legends of goblins that would have given the island's fishermen weathervane of the church has formed a tuna instead of the usual arrow or rooster. The island, also, menhirs and dolmens and the indefinable charm of its vegetation and its beaches. The Groix hosts a special fauna rare phenomenon on an island, you can find many toads! There was also a lot of rabbits, but cats, néocolonisateurs the island, make friends with big ears are fewer and fewer ...
