Off Granville, the Chausey archipelago Chausey is home to some of the highest tides in Europe, with a tidal range of up to 14 metres (the difference between high and low tide). Chausey is a natural site whose richness has led to it being included in the Natura 2000 network, which helps to preserve its exceptional diversity: marine animals, birdlife, shellfish (Chausey lobster, clams, bouquet...).
How do I get to the CHAUSEY archipelago?
From the port of Granville
From Granville ferry terminal, board one of the 3 Compagnie Jolie France launches bound for Chausey.
In less than an hour, you arrive on the main island, in the Sound, where many boats are at anchor. The place charmed the writer Jean-François Deniau, who described Chausey as "the most beautiful anchorage in the world after Bora Bora".
You can also reach the archipelago aboard an old sailing ship: the Granvillaise, the Charles Marie or the Marité.
Another option: a large number of charter boats are available from the port of Granville: sailboats, yachts, RIBs with or without skipper, etc.
