Houat Favorites

Favorite thing: The harbour and only village on the island is Port Saint Gildas named after an important Breton seafaring saint. The town is home to around 350 permanent residents, and the place is surprisingly spread out...we managed to get lost completely in the twisty lanes, which is not what you want when you are in a rush to get the last boat!

Port Saint Gildas has many shops and cafes, a few restaurants and a small hotel. You can also hire bicycles here to tour the rest of the island. I don't remember seeing any cars, and there is no reason why there should be any.
