The Port of La Meule

Highlight • Viewpoint

Seen by the locals as one of the jewels of Yeu, the port of La Meule is a real refuge on the coast of the so-called “wild” island. Embedded between two high cliffs topped with an invincible moor, it shelters a 130-meter granite quay, which easily invites you to contemplate the waves and skiffs of its picturesque anchorage.

Against the cliff located to the west, the endemic fishermen's huts still in use color the port with generosity.

During the high season, between noon and 11 p.m., stop at the Bar de la Meule to enjoy a snack and a pleasant view of the port.

Chapelle de la Meule

2.52 km

Standing on the heights overlooking the port of La Meule, the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle, also known as the chapel of La Meule, acts as a real beacon for sailors in search of rest.

Since the 11th century, its immaculate silhouette has made it, during sunny summers, visible from several hundred meters away. During hot weather, the religious building also becomes a refuge for overheated bodies.

Above all, from its strong entrance door in the colors of the azure, the view of the ocean is breathtaking.
On the tour of the island of Yeu, its visit is essential.

Crows Cove and Beach

Highlight • Other

The southeastern tip of the island offers a coast between sand and rocks.
We go from the north coast, very sandy, to the south, much more jagged with cliffs.
A pretty lighthouse tops the point
