Ile-de-Brehat is an island off the coasts of Brittany (Image: GETTY) A stunning French island has capped the number of tourists that can visit, joining the host of holiday destinations taking measures to fight overtourism . Ile-de-Bréhat is an island just off the northern coasts of Brittany measuring only 1.19 square miles and with a population of just over 400.
The cap will be enforced from this week to August 23 and sees a maximum of 4,700 people allowed to visit the island on weekdays between 8.30am and 2.30pm local time.
Second homeowners and people who need to travel for work will be exempt from this regulation. The measure is hoping to provide a better experience for visitors, who won't feel overcrowded on the small island, and the permanent residents. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
