    Road cycling

    Madame Island is connected to the mainland by a sand and pebble road, called the Passe aux Boeufs, about 1 km long, accessible only at low tide. It is a tombolo, a dune cord made up of deposits of sedimentary and fluvial origin, which is welding Madame Island to the mainland. This pass is particularly popular during the summer period, with many tourists who cross it on foot, by bike, or even by car. However, it is not really a passable road with a road bike, but it can be admired from the coast.
