Possession Island

Possession Island is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Brittany in France. It is a part of the Iroise Marine Natural Park and is the only island of the Iroise archipelago that is not connected to the mainland. The island is made up of rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and a variety of wildlife habitats.

Possession Island is located about 4 miles off the coast of Ushant, a small island off the coast of Brittany in France. It is the most western point of France and is easily accessible by boat from the mainland. The island is about 0.2 square miles in size and is made up of mainly rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and dolphins.

The island has a long and interesting history. In 1595, the island was given to the French by King Henry IV as part of a treaty between France and England. It was used as a base for French naval operations in the area, and in 1672, it was the site of a major battle between the French and English fleets. In 1763, the island was ceded to England as part of the Treaty of Paris and was used by the Royal Navy as a base until 1814.

Today, Possession Island is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can explore the island's rugged coastline and observe the wildlife that inhabits the area. The island is also home to a lighthouse, which is a popular spot for visitors to take in the stunning views of the surrounding area.
