The small French island of Brehat, a popular north coast tourist destination, is restricting the number of visitors this summer after seeing as much as 15 times its population arrive at its rocky shores in a single day.

Off the coast of Brittany, Brehat is joining numerous other sites around France pushing back against overtourism amid concerns over waste management and environmental protection.
