Grosse-Île
Grosse Île is one of the two islands in the archipelago whose population still primarly speaks english. In the past, fishing and agriculture were the main source of livelihood. The island was divided into two sectors: Grosse-Île and Old Harry.
Old Harry
The Old Harry sector consists of the south portion of Grosse Île. This is where the Old Harry Heritage Site and its exhibitions are located.
There are several points of interest within a ten-minute walk radius: The "Maison du Potier", an artisanal pottery workshop located on the other side of the main road, as well as the Grande Échouerie Beach, a sublime swimming spot sheltered from high winds.
