Batz Island and pure juice concentrate from Brittany

Just a stone's throw from Roscoff, Batz isn't the best-known of the Ponant Islands, and that's just as well. There aren't any overwhelming crowds here, although it's obviously a bit busier in summer.

Its size allows you to tour it in half a day. But rushing there will only provide a cursory glimpse of the riches of an island that cultivates its land more than its brand image.

Exposed to the mild Gulf Stream, Batz benefits from a microclimate that also favors flowers. It's a garden that finds its apotheosis in the exotic garden where hundreds of tropical species have been acclimatized.

Tropical, to be honest? Not at all. With not a single day of frost, Batz is naturally suited to these exotic varieties.

Spending a few hours on Batz provokes an inevitable, total, and delicious thrill of change of scenery. Prefer spring.
