The banc du Bûcheron
Experience
An islet of sand that is only revealed at low tide, the Banc du Bûcheron gives an air of otherworldliness and offers a beautiful view of Patache beach.
An island in the sea
This ephemeral island, visible only when the ocean recedes, is a 4-kilometre long spit of sand revealing a unique landscape. Accessible from Plage de la Patache, it's an ideal spot for a picnic or a swim. But be careful with the timetable: the Banc du Bûcheron is only there 1? hours before and 1? hours after the tide. You can walk to the Banc du Bûcheron from the beach, but it's easier and more advisable to get there by boat.
