A small commune along the English Channel. From the beach, you can see the islands of Jersey and Chausey. At low tide, shore fishing is possible. To the west, behind a strip of coastal dunes, a sandy harbor has been partially converted for agricultural, oyster farming, and tourism activities. In 1964, 120 hectares were transformed into a polder. In 1981, 11 hectares were developed into a shellfish farming zone. The commune's main source of wealth comes from oyster farming, whose flavor is appreciated throughout the country. Beyond the harbor, the wooded landscape offers superb views of the sea and the islands.

Crossed by the GR 223, the Pointe d'Agon lighthouse is a popular destination for hiking. Despite its name, it is a light and not a lighthouse. It is also distinguished by its house which is nowadays occasionally open for visits and exhibitions.

Arriving here by bike is so much more powerful than with a motor... you go along the dunes, through which you can then stroll on foot, to find yourself a little at the end of the world, among the stranded boats.
