Access to Flea Island is via the curved boardwalk (As seen in the picture above). It is curved for three reasons: to withstand the force of the tides and ice, to reduce the risk of vertigo and for aesthetic purposes.

At the center of L'Île-aux-Puces (Flea Island) are the public grounds where the musical performances, as well as the theatrical performances, are held. At one end of the open-air theatre, you can see one of our House Bands (Les Turluteux) performing. The theatrical performances are held on the stage at the other end of the public grounds. The "Bootleggeux à Mariaagélas", where you can get alcoholic or non-alcoholic refreshments, is adjacent to the open-air theatre.
