ELVISH WOOD
The site offers beautiful ocean views and is populated by maritime pines, arbutus, shrubs, rose bushes and wild roses.
The highest point on the island, Bois des Éloux, populated by maritime pines, arbutus, shrubs, wild roses and wild rosebushes, is a classified site. Before this wood, there was the village of Les Éloux, entirely buried under the sands at the beginning of the 12th century. During the Revolution, the hunting of the slightest fuel for heating forced the inhabitants to glean the slightest twig. Under the effect of the wind, within a few years, the sands covered the remains of the abandoned village. To stop the march of the dunes, groins were installed. Beautiful panoramas on the ocean.
