The round-trip ferry trip from Audierne to Île de Sein is highly recommended. Seeing the scenery from the sea is a truly beautiful experience.
Unfortunately, the entire explanation of the coastal sections was only in French. This raises the question of why English is offered as an option when booking. Only the onboard rules of conduct were translated into English and German.
The crew was very friendly and fully catered to the passengers' needs.
The stay on the island is a fantastic experience. Not to be missed. I would gladly go again.
