Inner Fitness Summer Week on Island in France
When? September 5 (Friday evening) – September 13 (Saturday morning), 2014.
Information evening: Friday evening, May 16, 19:00-21:00, Lijnbaansgracht 173, Amsterdam, free.
Where?
On a tiny French island, situated in the South of Bretagne, in the Atlantic Ocean.
It’s an almost uninhabited island.
The small village on the island Houat counts only 280 inhabitants.
Outside the high season you hardly see any visitors.
You can walk for hours without meeting anybody.
Almost everywhere you can spend your time freely, in the wild.
You can climb, enjoy great sights, be blown out, be in silence.
Or enjoy a great beach or little bay all by your self.
Take a look at the photos and videoclips of Houat.
Quiet and safe
Cars, scooters, and motorcycles are prohibited on the island.
The total traffic consists of 2 small transport buses, 2 station cars, 2 tractors, a car of the doctor & nurse, a truck of the fire brigade, and 1 or 2 mopeds. That’s about all the traffic…
Even bikes are rare!
Almost everything is done walking.
Except for a mowing machine once in a while, the only thing you hear: the ocean, wind, seagulls, and silence.
Noise pollution, light pollution and air pollution are unknown here.
The largest part of the island is protected nature reserve!
