Whether you’re coming from Vannes or Sarzeau, Île Tascon is very well signposted near Saint-Armel or Lasné. Within the village of Lasné, follow the signs for “Île Tascon” to reach the start of the submersible causeway leading to the island.
There is a large car park for cars, with a height restriction of 1.90 m. Another car park is reserved for motorhomes – free during the day and subject to a charge (€5) at night.
(S/E) As soon as the ebb tide has cleared the causeway, head towards the island.
(1) On arrival on the island, leave the tarmac road and head onto the foreshore. Sandy patches make walking easier there, between the rocks and the piles of seaweed.
(2) When you reach the hamlet of Tascon, you can either continue along the foreshore or opt for a stretch of road – which is the route suggested here – to explore the interior a little, notably the hamlet where, amongst other things, you’ll find the Ferme de Tascon, which sells local produce. If you choose the road, follow it to the end.
(3) Head down onto the beach and turn right towards the northern tip of the island. Pass this headland and continue along the beach towards the south-east. After a long walk along the beach, you’ll reach a cove bounded to the east by a sandy headland.
(4) Beyond this, you can continue along the beach to the southern tip of the island, where you’ll rejoin the access road. Here, you have the option of taking a grassy path that leads out onto the beach and takes you to the hamlet of Tascon, then take the island’s main road heading south.
(5) When you reach this three-way junction, take the left-hand road which heads across the fields and soon turns right at a right angle before joining the main road.
(1) Head back along the road in the opposite direction to return to the car park (S/E).
