The Romanesque chapel ruins recall Saint Pol Aurélien who, legend says, hurled the island's dragon into the 'Serpent's Hole'. Grand pardon in late July.

LIVING TRADITIONS

Here seaweed has fed the fields for centuries: the island still lives from the sea and its famous early vegetables, shipped west each spring.
