The wild little island of Hoëdic is, with its
neighbor Houat, one of the summits of the underwater promontories
that blocks off the Vilaine estuary and connects Quiberon to
Croisic.
(Around 5000 BC the entire mass was well out of the water.
The ocean was about ten meters lower at the time.
Houat is actually on the extension of Quiberon,
14 miles from Hoëdic.
Hoëdic, is 209 hectares of granite covered with sand that is
itself covered with grass and flowers. No motorized vehicles
are allowed. Nice cozy beaches and nature all around you. PEACE
at last. Absolutely unforgettable.

Saint Goustan, a former pirate and patron saint of the island,
became a monk and moved to Hoëdic on his return from Jerusalem.
