Today
there are only two Islands in the Vendée. In the very north of the Vendée
is the Ile-de-Noirmoutier which is connected to the mainland by the Pont de
Noirmoutier and the "Gois" a causeway that is passable only at low tide. The
other island is the Ile d'Yeu which is some 10 kilometres off the coast of St.Jean-de-Monts and
can be reached by ferries from Fromentine and St.Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. In
centuries past there were many other islands but as the sea receded and the
marshlands were drained these islands have become a part of the
mainland.
Just outside of the Vendée is the nearby island of the Ile-de-Re which although off the coast of the Vendée is connected to La Rochelle in the Charente-Maritime Department.
