Tatihou Island is the property of the Coastal Conservatory and its management is entrusted to the Department of the Channel. The site has been in tourism since 1992 and this year the island celebrates its thirty years of opening to the public. The island has many natural habitats on an area of 29 hectares. Consequently, it is possible to observe in this small territory a very large number of animal and plant species, both marine and terrestrial. Since 1997, the Tatihou-Saint-Vaast-La-Hougue site has joined the Natura 2000 network. Walk the island with a coastal guard (Saturday) and the island biologist (Sunday) who will introduce you to the foreshore, the intramural or the meadow and explain the need to protect this fragile heritage.
