Visit to Île Tristan, a treasure of South Finistère

Nicknamed "the pearl of Douarnenez Bay", Île Tristan offers a day out in the heart of nature.

Discover Île Tristan in Finistère

Visiting Île Tristan is a privilege: situated 200m from the coast, it's only open 2 or 3 days a month during high tides! This 7-hectare natural nugget is sure to delight bird-watchers, who will be able to spot Barking Sandpiper and Pied Oystercatcher during the nesting season. During your walk, you'll also discover :

• A Napoleon III fort built in 1859
• A lighthouse built in 1857, 9.5 metres high
• Exceptional views over the sea and the Bay of Douarnenez
• An exotic garden with 358 species of flowers
• A menhir

For the record, legend has it that the island is home to the tomb of Tristan and Isolde's two famous lovers.

Practical information:
📍 The island is accessible on foot at low tide
