Île de Boëd

Tour de Ténéro (Eng. Tower of Ténéro) in the south of the island

The Île de Boëd is a near-land, uninhabited tidal island in the northeast of the Gulf of Morbihan in the municipality of Séné in Brittany in France . The island pronounced "bwèt" was called "Île de Rouet" in the atlas of 1693.

The approximately 15 hectare island is about 1.5 km long and at the narrowest point less than 100 m wide.

At low tide the Île de Boëd is within walking distance. This makes it possible to visit the preserved remains of one of the four dolmens in the east of the island. There were also traces of two barrows and six salt boiler workshops. To the south of the island, the area is covered by seagrass meadows and has a fragile underwater habitat. This is one of the last two courses of its kind in the Gulf of Morbihan (next to the Île d'Ilur). They are subject to special protection.

Individual evidence

↑ Seagrass meadows are a plant community on sandy soils in the sea or mud flats. The benthic ecosystems formed in this way exist primarily in coastal areas (estuaries), predominantly under water, where they form extensive meadows. They occur from the surface of the water to a depth of 40 m.
