During these holidays of the All Saints’ Day, the island of Ouessant, in Finistère, popular. Tourists flock there this year to grab a big bowl air at the gates of the ocean Atlantic and enjoy the great natural spaces.
After barely two hours of crossing by boat, tourists arrive on the island of Ouessant, in Finistère, with the impression of being at the end of the world. Off Brittany, the arrival of boats punctuates the flow of visitors, very numerous for these All Saints holidays. A family came from Pas-de-Calais. “What we liked right away here is the very wild side of the coast, the calm”, emphasizes a tourist.
On the island, the activities are numerous: walks or bike rides. And the restaurants are filling up. “We just made a mutton stew, or rather lamb, it’s a hotel specialty”, indicates another visitor. On the island, attendance is up this year. “Compared to last year, we are already at + 11% for the month of October, we can say that we are lucky in October with exceptional weather”, observes Pauline Borda, account manager at the tourist office. Ouessant should soon regain its calm because on the island, the wind will intensify in the coming weeks.
