Formerly an island, Île Renote was joined to the mainland in 1895 by construction of a road, forming a peninsula. It has an exceptional geological and human history. Inhabited for 5,000 years, it has remarkable chaotic granite rock formations which form a unique natural landscape. Shaped by the sea, sculpted by the salt spray, the top of the rocky clusters is in places is studded with depressions (or crevices) nicknamed "bidets de la vierge" (the Virgin's bidets) or "empreintes du diable" (the devil's footprints). You can also see the rock known locally as "La palette du peintre" (the Painter's Palette). Be careful not to venture onto the neighbouring islands without checking the tide times. The currents in the area are extremely dangerous.
