Arrival & departure
Arriving on Île de Sieck
Access to the island depends on the tides. At low tide, a natural causeway makes it possible to reach the house from Dossen beach, on foot or by car.
At high tide, access temporarily disappears, giving the island its unique character: a preserved, secluded and deeply peaceful place.
Before your stay, François-Xavier will tell you the appropriate meeting time for your day of arrival. He will also send you the useful tide times to help organise your movements throughout your stay.
Please remember: the island is lived according to the rhythm of the sea. It is therefore important to follow the times communicated before your arrival.
Arrival, departure and organisation of your stay
Your arrival is organised according to the tide conditions. François-Xavier will welcome you, give you the essential information about access, guide you as you settle into the house and be present when you leave.
Departure times will also be defined according to the tide, so that you can leave the island in the best possible conditions.
For any specific request — a particular arrival time, additional service, surprise, grocery delivery or private use of the house — it is best to contact François-Xavier before your stay.

Is Île de Sieck suitable for a quiet stay?

This particular rhythm gives the stay its unique character.
Can a special occasion or event be organised?
For a special occasion — birthday, family stay, reunion, surprise or celebration — it is possible to make a specific request before your arrival.
François-Xavier can advise you on the possibilities, available services and arrangements suited to your stay.
Are there shops nearby?
Even though the house is located on an island, the shops and services of the coast remain accessible from Santec and the surrounding area, taking the tide times into account.
It is nevertheless preferable to plan your main groceries before arrival, or to arrange a grocery delivery service before the stay.
Can we move freely during the stay?
Movements between the island and the mainland depend on the tides. At low tide, it is possible to reach Santec; at high tide, the island is temporarily secluded.
