When to go to Île d'Yeu?
Cliffs drop straight into the surf along the wild coast, while the sheltered side keeps calm beaches: the island changes character in the space of a bike ride. The ruined medieval castle stands on its rock above the water, half fortress, half sea stack. Port-Joinville keeps the fishing fleet and the auction shed, and the terraces around the quay serve whatever the boats brought back.
