The unthinkable happened on the Isle of Yeu off the coast of Brittany, France. The lure of gain swept everything away. A community united by centuries of isolation, cemented by extremely strong family ties, where solidarity and mutual aid was not an empty word, sees its island sold piece by piece.

Tourism has taken precedence over an economy based almost exclusively on fishing. Successive municipalities have staked everything on this new windfall, masons have supplanted sailors. Money sucks the life blood out these places of island life...
A walking tour of the island of Yeu, getting to know it through the eyes of a fisherman, a real estate agent or more generally, one of its municipalities and its inhabitants.
