The Île de Berder is a 0.25 km² large tidal island ( French Île-de-marée ) southeast of Larmor-Baden in the Gulf of Morbihan in Brittany in France .
When the water is low, the island, which was called "Île de Brede" until the 18th century, can be reached via a so-called "Chaussée submersible" or "Gué" ( German for "diving road" or ford), which is otherwise flooded.
There are still such roads in France:
- in the Estuaire de la Somme with the Gué de Blanquetaque ( ford )
- at Île Callot , with Passe aux Moutons at Carantec
- at the Île de Noirmoutier the Passage du Gois
- at the Île Tascon , at Saint-Armel
- at the île Madame , the Passe aux bœufs
The name "Berder" or "Vient de Berdic" means in Breton: brothers and sisters of a family. The island lives from tourism. In 2012 it was sold to the Rennes Giboire Group, which is planning a 4-star hotel. Like almost all small islands in the Gulf of Morbihan, it is privately owned. You can enter it and use the coastal path around the island.
