Noirmoutier
Noirmoutier (also French language, French: Île de Noirmoutier, ; br, Nervouster, ) is a tidal island off the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic coast of France in the Vendée Departments of France, department (85). History Noirmoutier was the location of an early Viking raid in 799, when raiders attacked the monastery of Saint Philibert of Jumièges in 799. The Vikings established a permanent base on the island around 824, from which they could control southeast Brittany by the 840s. In 848, they sacked Bordeaux. From 862 until 882, Hastein used it as a base from which he raided Francia and Brittany. Noirmoutier was the site of several campaigns in the War in the Vendée, War of the Vendée, as well as a massacre and the place of execution of the Royalist Generalissimo Maurice-Joseph-Louis Gigot d'Elbée, Maurice D'Elbée, who faced the firing squad seated in a chair due to wounds accumulated from an earlier battle. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier was bo ...

Île D'Yeu
Île d'Yeu () or L'Île-d'Yeu, is an island and commune just off the Vendée coast of western France. The island's two harbors, Port-Joinville in the north and Port de la Meule to the south, in a rocky inlet of the southern granite coast, are famous for tuna and lobster fishing, respectively. Administratively, the commune of L'Île-d'Yeu is part of the Vendée department and the Pays de la Loire region of France. History Neolithic markings in the native stone and an unusual concentration of megalithic dolmens and menhirs attest to the island's early sanctity. Irish monks from Bangor, County Down, dedicated their monastery on the Île d'Yeu to Hilaire; Saint Amand from Poitou received early training there, but it was destroyed by Viking raiders in the ninth century. During the tenth century, monks from Marmoutier near Tours and monks of Saint-Cyprien at Poitiers built a new monastery and dedicated it to Saint Stephen. The castle built on an islet linked to the coast by a brid ...
