The islet, celebrated for its Benedictine abbey, has small houses and shops on its lowest level.

The entire islet is crowned by the abbey church, about 73 m (about 240 ft) above sea level.

At this period you can also attend the spectacular Saint-Malo start to the 8th edition of the single-handed transatlantic Route du Rhum yachting race, with the departure from Saint-Malo on October 29th. Some 60 or so boats will be hoping to be the first to arrive in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), after a two-week Atlantic crossing for the fastest vessels.
