Île Grande Basque

TIME : 2016/2/19 4:04:17

The largest island of the small archipelago off Sept Îles is a pretty spot to spend a day, walking on the 12km of trails or picnicking on the coast. During the summer, Croisière Petit Pingouin and Les Croisières du Capitaine run regular 10-minute ferry crossings between the island and Sept Îles port (adult/child $25/15), as well as archipelago cruises. Tickets are available at the port, Parc du Vieux Quai. Camping is possible with a permit, available from the cruise companies and the tourist office. Nearby Île du Corossol is a bird refuge.
