CALLOT ISLAND
Accessible island with coves, dunes, gorse, fields and pastures, home to a few families.
Callot Island is located in front of the port of Carantec. With its 2.125 km long, it is mainly made up of creeks, dunes, gorse, fields and pastures. Some families still live there. Callot is accessible on foot or by car at low tide (the passageway is open from 2 hours before to 2 hours after low tide, a time slot that can vary according to tidal coefficients). At high tide, consider kayaking. The submersible causeway leading to the island is a great place for fishing on foot! Attention: when you go to visit the lovely little chapel of Notre-Dame de Kallod or walk on its paths, remember to check the tide times! Indeed, the sea rises quickly and you risk getting your feet in the water or having to wait for the next ebb tide... This chapel, whose first stone was laid in 513 by a Breton chieftain, has an astonishing history: often damaged by storms or even destroyed, it has never stopped being rebuilt. Its bell tower is listed as a Historic Monument and its abstract stained glass windows give it a modern and joyful appeal. Also take the time to contemplate the old seaweed ovens, witnesses of a bygone era. And if you feel under the spell of this small island, the old school has been transformed into a gîte (it can accommodate up to 10 people, but reservations must be made at the Tourist Office). You could then really take your time, live like a Callotin for a few hours or a few days. A must-see then!
