Vedettes Jolie France

The main gateway to Chausey

Vedettes Jolie France is the historic and principal carrier to the Îles Chausey. From the port of Granville in Normandy, they provide daily crossings to the Grande-Île of Chausey, a 50-minute voyage. This is the most frequent and practical service for discovering this exceptional archipelago of 365 islets.

A service adapted to the tides

The Chausey archipelago is subject to the largest tides in Europe, with a tidal range of up to 14 metres. Vedettes Jolie France timetables are therefore closely tied to the tidal cycles, varying each day. The company adjusts its rotations to allow visitors to make the most of their day on the island, whether at high tide for swimming or at low tide for shore fishing.

Guided cruises

In addition to regular crossings, Vedettes Jolie France offer guided cruises around the archipelago, providing a unique perspective on the islets, reefs and marine wildlife. These tours offer a chance to appreciate the immensity of the archipelago and understand the extraordinary tidal dynamics that reshape it twice a day.

Practical information and booking

Boarding is at the port of Granville, easily accessible by car or train. Tickets are available online, by phone and at the ticket office. Crossings are more frequent from April to September, with daily departures. In winter, the service is reduced to weekends and public holidays. Booking in advance is recommended in summer and during high tidal coefficients, particularly popular periods for shore fishing enthusiasts.
