The Île de Noirmoutier is an island off the Atlantic coast of France. Parts of the island have been reclaimed from the sea.
The island is most notable for the Passage du Gois, a paved-over sandbank with a length of 4.5 kilometers that connects the island to the mainland. It is flooded twice a day by the high tide. Every year, a foot race – the Foulées du Gois – is held across it, starting at the onset of the high tide.
The Herbaudière is a fishing port located on the west coast of the island. St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier was born on this island on July 31, 1796. In 2005 it served as the finish of the Tour de France prologue.
