The Ile d'Yeu cannery
The Île d'Yeu cannery is above all a love story for the sea, the island and its inhabitants. The products come mainly from our coasts, or from the surrounding lands with a collaboration with the Vendée or Breton fishermen for the albacore tuna. We especially favor fish on our side (hake, tuna…) You will not find more Made in France than these products!
The desire to respect Icelandic culinary traditions and to offer exceptional products is deeply rooted in the brand. These recipes of sailors' wives, available in soups, smoked and canned, it's quite simply the Île d'Yeu at the end of your fork.

Many religious buildings, modest and sober, in the blue and white colors of the sea and the Virgin Mary, frame our island, its villages and its coasts. A monastic and then parochial sanctuary, the Saint-Sauveur church dates from the 11th and 12th centuries.
The Notre-Dame du Port church was inaugurated in 1829, enlarged and transformed several times.
The Notre-Dame de Bonne Nouvelle chapel is mentioned as early as the 15th century. Its white silhouette dominates the port of La Meule and the ocean, and still makes it a landmark for sailors.
The chapel of Father de Montfort was built in 1835, then enlarged in 1889 on the site of a calvary erected in Ker Châlon in 1712 by the holy father of Montfort.
The Notre-Dame de la Paix chapel was built in 1944 to invoke the Queen of Peace; it is close to the site of the former Saint-Hilaire monastery, where Saint Amand received his monastic training at the end of the 6th century.
