Île Callot, Tidal island in Carantec, France.

The 2-kilometer-long island stretches in front of Carantec port, featuring coves, dunes, gorse fields, and pastures across its varied landscape.

The Notre Dame de Callot chapel began its existence in 513 when a Breton chieftain placed the first stone at this elevated location.

The name of the island originates from the Breton word 'Galloud', reflecting the linguistic heritage of the Brittany region in France.

Access to the island requires careful planning around tide schedules, as the 800-meter causeway remains underwater except during low tide periods.

The northern section functions as a protected environmental zone under the General Council of Finistère, providing shelter for numerous bird species.
