Ouessant  L'Ile d'Ouessant (pronounced Ushant) lies of the extreme western tip off the Brittany coast. Measuring 7km by 4km this small island has a population of around 1000 and is well worth visiting especially for the boat trip which gives the chance to see the Black Stones, Green Stones and the reef lying off the coast.   The main town on the island is Lampaul which is a delightful hamlet of superbly maintained old houses. The main attraction is the Créac'h Lighthouse which has one of the most powerful lights in the world and with the Lighthouse at Lands End marks the entrance to the English Channel.
