点评:There is one sailing per day to the Iles Glénan in April, so our boat was full to capacity and the bench seats were quite hard on the bottom! It surprised me that dogs were allowed on the trip given the environmental vulnerability of the islands, but considerate owners kept them on leads. The 1 hour 15 minutes crossing to St Nicholas (the main island) was choppy and cold, so although we had paid €49 each for the guided tour around the other islands, we decided to stay put on St Nicholas. We didn’t want to spend another hour feeling chilly at sea, especially given the long return journey. Plus, the English-speaking version of the tour was very difficult to understand over the noise of the engine. If we’d been sensible we’d have saved our money and just paid €39 pp to stay on St Nicholas, which is a pretty place in the late-Spring sunshine, with the white sand gleaming and wild flowers in bloom. We love islands and often include a boat trip when we visit the coast, but overall, this trip to the Glénans left us underwhelmed. We were none the wiser about the lives of the people who live there, or who might have settled in the past. Perhaps some information boards would have helped. On the plus side, St Nicholas was not too crowded on this out-of-season visit, which meant we could relax with a beer at La Boucane before our return sailing. We saw a few seals, swallows, terns and gannets, which was fun, and enjoyed the feeling of remoteness. However, I cannot imagine how this tiny landmass can accommodate the tourist hoards that descend there in the summer. Would we go again? Probably not. But it ticked a box on week-long holiday in Brittany.
翻译:四月份每天只有一班船前往格莱南群岛,所以我们的船满员了,长椅的底部很硬!考虑到这些岛屿的生态环境脆弱,让我惊讶的是居然允许带狗上船,不过体贴的主人都给狗狗拴上了牵引绳。前往圣尼古拉斯岛(主岛)的航程大约1小时15分钟,海面波涛汹涌,天气寒冷,所以尽管我们每人支付了49欧元参加其他岛屿的导览游,我们还是决定留在圣尼古拉斯岛上。我们不想再在海上受冻一个小时,尤其考虑到回程路途遥远。而且,导览游的英语讲解在引擎的轰鸣声中很难听懂。如果我们当时更明智一些,就应该省下这笔钱,只花39欧元留在圣尼古拉斯岛上。在晚春的阳光下,圣尼古拉斯岛景色优美,白沙闪闪发光,野花盛开。我们热爱岛屿,每次去海边都会安排乘船游览,但这次格莱南群岛之行总体来说让我们有些失望。我们对当地居民的生活,以及过去可能在此定居的人们,仍然一无所知。或许设置一些信息牌会有所帮助。好的一方面是,由于是淡季,圣尼古拉斯岛并不拥挤,这意味着我们可以在返回之前在La Boucane酒吧悠闲地喝杯啤酒。我们看到了一些海豹、燕子、燕鸥和塘鹅,这很有趣,也享受到了那种与世隔绝的感觉。然而,我实在无法想象这片小小的岛屿是如何容纳夏季蜂拥而至的游客的。我们会再去吗?可能不会。但至少,它算是布列塔尼一周假期中的一个亮点。
