Ile de la comtesse - Saint Quay Portrieux

The ceremony takes place on a tiny island facing the beach.

Michele and Keith, from California, decided to get married in France, in the little town of Saint-Quay-Portrieux.

This very small wedding featured 25 people, only the very close relatives and a few of the bride and groom's very best friends, most of them flying from California and enjoying a few days of vacation.

The great sunny weather allowed them to organize their ceremony on the "Ile de la Comtesse", a tiny island that you can only reach from the beach walking at low tide.
