(Îles de la Madeleine)
The
archipelago is made up of about a
dozen islands of which six are connected
to one another by long, thin, sand
dunes. The Islands' names (from north
to south) are: île
de la Grande Entrée and Grosse-Île,
île aux
Loups, île
du Havre aux Maisons, Île
du Cap aux Meules and île
du Havre Aubert. Two other larger
islands are part of the archipelago
as well: île
d'Entrée, located 10 km
east of Havre-Aubert; île Brion,
16 km north of Grosse-Île.
There
are other smaller islands and islets
which are also part of the Îles
de la Madeleine: rocher aux Oiseaux,
Île aux Loups-marins, Île
aux Cochons and rocher du Corps-Mort
among others.
