Summary

Sitting just out of reach in Douarnenez Bay, the Ile Tristan belongs to the French National Trust and can only be reached on foot at very low tide.

This visit offers a unique chance to discover an island of legend, dreams and drama.

Following in the footsteps of characters long gone, you'll learn about the history of the island, its connections with Tristan and Isolde, Parisian high society and even pirates... including the legend of treasure yet to be found!
