Groix, Island municipality in Morbihan, France

Groix Island extends across the Bay of Biscay with 47 meters elevation, featuring coastal paths and natural landscapes along its perimeter.

The island transformed from France's primary tuna fishing port in the 20th century, marked by a tuna-shaped weather vane on the village church.

The International Island Film Festival presents documentaries and exhibitions focused on island life, drawing creators from various maritime regions.

Regular ferry services connect the mainland from Lorient to Port-Tudy harbor, with crossings taking 45 minutes throughout the day.

The island contains rare glaucophane blue stones, geological formations found only in two locations worldwide: Groix and Greenland.
