How to get there
For a start, the Île d'Yeu is only revealed after a journey by sea or air, adding a touch of adventure to your getaway. Climb aboard a boat and let yourself be carried along by the waves, an already memorable experience that marks the start of your day.
If you stay at Camping Paradis du Domaine de Bellevue, you're ideally located between the Fromentine and Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie landing stages. We recommend Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, just 26 minutes away by car. Once there, there are plenty of car parks where you can park in peace and quiet before setting sail.
🅿️ Free car parks near the pier
Departing from Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, you will embark with the Vendée company. The boat journey will take around 1 hour.
We strongly advise you to book your crossing in advance. In high season, departures to the Ile d'Yeu are very quickly snapped up.
Once you've booked your return tickets, you'll need to prepare for the day on the island!
Preparation
With its 23 square kilometres,the island of Yeu can easily be visited in a single day. To get the most out of it, the best way is to hire bikes on site. We recommend Yeuloc or Auto-bécane. Both are located near the pier. You can pick them up and return them easily before boarding your boat for your return to the mainland.
