The Église Saint-Philbert in Noirmoutier was built on the remains of an abbey dating to 674. Most of the building dates from the 11th century and was later expanded. The crypt beneath the choir is the only original surviving piece. An empty sarcophagus stands there, as the relics of Saint Philibert were removed in the 9th century. The Neo-Romanesque tower, built in 1875, replaced a burnt-down predecessor. Inside are Baroque retables, a painting from 1852, and a votive ship model from 1802. The stained-glass windows depict scenes from Philibert's life.

Open to traffic 1.5 hours before low tide and until 1.5 hours after low tide. https://www.horaire-maree.fr/maree/Passage%20du%20gois/

When the sea recedes, it reveals a spectacular road here.

The Passage du Gois is a submerged causeway located in Bourgneuf Bay, in the north of the Vendée department. Accessible to motorists, cyclists, and walkers, the Gois is one of the most unusual roads in the world, only passable at low tide. The road is uncovered twice a day. You can pass through it 1.5 hours before and 1.5 hours after low tide. At each end of the passage, signs indicate the tide times and alert users when the tide is rising.

great walk to do in Noirmoutier, beach and forest

The place not to be missed when visiting the island. An air of the end of the world at high tide, a real experience at low tide. The crossing by bike is nice, despite the algae, the slippery cobblestones and the many cars in summer.

Beautiful church dating from the end of the 11th century.

The bridge leads to the Île de Noirmoutier, a French Atlantic island of 50 sq km.
