Île de Noirmoutier

Noirmoutier (9,438 inhabitants; 4,900 ha), a tidal island located off the Atlantic coast, is referred to as the Mimoss Island, due to its temperate climate that allows for the flowering of Acacia dealbata (mimosa) year-round.
The island is predominantly made of salt marsh and salt banks, sand dunes and evergreen oak forests. It has been a site of uninterrupted human inhabitation since prehistoric times, and is a popular tourist destination.
Noirmoutier is connected to mainland France by a road bridge built in 1971. The other link to mainland is the Passage du Gois, a paved-over sandbank of 4.5 kilometres, flooded twice a day by the high tide. Every year, a famous foot race – the Foulées du Gois – is held across it, starting at the onset of the high tide.

The island is composed of four municipalities grouped into the Communauté de communes de l'Île de Noirmoutier (CCIN):
- Barbâtre (1,724 inh.);
- L'Épine (1,641 inh.);
- La Guérinière (1,347 inh.);
- Noirmoutier-en-l'Île (4,668 inh.; seat).

The flag of the CCIN (photo) is white with the authority's logo, which was created in 2010 by the communication agency LM Young & Rubicam.
Each of the four constituent municipalities has its own logo derivated from the CCIN logo. According to Gérard Guillet, Mayor of Barbâtre, "the objective is to unite all the actors of the island around a single identity for Noirmoutier. In fact, the community of the four municipalities thus wishes to reinforce the attractiveness of the island by speaking with one voice."
