A CAR-FREE SUMMER: LES GRATIBUS DE L'île
Are you looking for a sustainable and alternative way to travel during your stay on Noirmoutier Island? Leave your car in one of our free park-and-ride car parks located at the entrances to the towns: Étier du Moulin car park (Noirmoutier-en-l'Île) and École Communale car park (La Guérinière).
Then, it's simple: head to one of the Gratibus stops, hop on and sit back comfortably until you reach your destination.
