Îles Saint-Marcouf

The Îles Saint-Marcouf are two small, uninhabited islands off the coast of Normandy, France, in the Baie de la Seine region of the English Channel, about 6.5 kilometers east of the Cotentin Peninsula coast at Ravenoville. The larger island, Île du Large, lies 500 meters east of the smaller Île de Terre; together they cover about 1,400 hectares and reach a maximum elevation of 10 meters. The islands take their name from Saint Marcouf, who died there in 588 CE, and supported a monastic presence until the 15th century.
