Page 18 of 19 Molène and Ouessant  Molène The Ile d’Ouessant is constituted of a rocky plateau, 30 to 65 m high, hollowed out to form a deep bay on the south west. Its approaches are feared by sailors on account of the danger the area represents, with innumerable rocks and violent currents. They are the subject of folklore: “He who sees Molène sees suffering, he who sees Ouessant sees his blood”. The lighthouses protecting these reefs are famous: Jument, Stiff, Créac’h. The Ile de Molène, just 1.2 km long and 800 m wide, is very flat and surrounded by white sandy beaches. A fishing fleet is based on the island, specialising in lobster and langoustes.
