The island of Yeu
The island of Yeu of Wonders...
During your crossing, the outlines of the island gradually emerge. Towards the south, the Corbeaux lighthouse and the pine wood give the impression of an islet detached from the rest of the island. As you step into the Atlantic, Port Joinville becomes more precise. To the north, the Chiens-Perrins beacon crashes the foam. And then the boat slows down, finishing its course between the two lighthouses of Port Joinville. You have arrived.
Like all the vagrants who disembark, backpack for the day or suitcase for a longer stay, you take the catwalk and set foot on land. You can already feel the change of scenery: this Ponant island is a real “elsewhere”.
Along the quay, islais and travelers mingle in a merry hubbub around the market, the terraces of cafes and restaurants, the arrivals of transport and fishing boats.
The island of Yeu is a land of sailors where an old fishing tradition still fires.
This is a real backdrop for a fairy tale. The island is a bit like Never Land . The streets and alleys are called the Fairy, the Chat Room, the Secret, the Paradise, the Lovers, the Druids. And even if the thread of all these stories escapes you, get lost in these enchanted labyrinths. Here and there, you will discover magnificent little courtyards where magnolias, oleanders, mimosas and hibiscus grow.

Today, the crossing varies from 30 min to 1 hour depending on your port of departure.
Fortunately, the first crossings of 11h in a sailing boat and if the weather is favorable... is one of those old anecdotes we tell each other.
