Île-d'Houat, Granite island in Morbihan, France.
The five-kilometer-long island features granite cliffs along its coastline and contains a long beach with dunes on its eastern side.
In 1891, Île d'Houat received official recognition as a French commune, establishing its administrative status within the Morbihan department.
The island population of 216 residents maintains traditional fishing practices while preserving their distinct Breton maritime heritage through local festivals.
Regular ferry services connect the island to multiple ports in Morbihan and Loire-Atlantique, with increased frequency during summer months.
The entire island territory contains a network of walking paths that circle the perimeter, offering views of the Baie de Quiberon.
