Peaceful and quiet, Arz Island has preserved its country life landscapes and architectural consistency, evidence of a rich past : 12th century church, old manors, 15th, 16th and 17th century windmills… A well-kept coastal path leads you entirely around the island. It unveils protected coves, marvellous viewpoints of the Gulf and a string of lush green islets … .
