Sillon de Talbert, Natural reserve and shingle spit in Pleubian, France
The Sillon de Talbert extends 3.2 kilometers into the sea, forming a narrow strip of sand and pebbles along the Brittany coast.
In 1907, local authorities prohibited the extraction of pebbles from the spit, which were previously used as construction materials throughout the region.
Local folklore suggests that the fairy Morgana built this path of pebbles to create a bridge between her island and the shore to meet Arthur.
Visitors should plan their exploration between two hours after high tide and low tide due to a breach located 500 meters from the starting point.
The spit serves as a primary corridor for bird migration, hosting four notable species including the Little Tern and Great Ringed Plover for nesting.
