L'Île du Guesclin, a tiny island in the commune of Saint-Coulomb and accessible on foot at low tide, is a private island now owned by a German couple who fell in love with it, not knowing that at one time it belonged to the singer and poet Léo Ferré. Ferré bought the site in 1959 and moved in here with his wife and his pet chimpanzee before moving on to the Château de Perdrigal. The building was in disrepair from 1969 to 2016.
