The island of Hoedic:  less than 150 islanders and a dozen of fishing boats.  Most of the islanders earn their living on these boats…Everybody knows everybody and welcoming friendliness is a second nature! 3 hours are necessary to completely explore this piece of granite 2.5 km long and 1 km wide. But of course, you will want to linger…The island with its numerous coves invites you to stay.
