Rock arch near Kerbéllec

Highlight • Natural Monument

You have to look closely. There is only one place on the coastal path to see it.
Rock arches are fascinating and silent witnesses to the primal power of erosion.

Sauzon is ranked among the favorite villages of the French. We understand why when we set foot there! Its small fishing port is simply magnificent and very lively in summer, facing the sea and the rhythm it imposes. Sauzon can be discovered on foot through its charming little alleys.

Port-Penhouet Beach

Highlight • Beach

Port-Penhouet beach is one of the most beautiful coves on the north coast of the island. Less known than its neighbor, the Plage des Poulains, it is nonetheless magnificent.

Poulains Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The western tip of Belle-Île faces the ocean and the Americas! In reality, this point is a peninsula which connects Belle-Île by means of a fine sandbank which offers one of the most beautiful beaches on the north coast! It was immortalized by the photographer Philip Plisson, which gave the cliché "Avis de gale sur les Poulains". It is undeniably a site to discover just a few steps from Sauzon and its magnificent little port.

August 5, 2024,🇫🇷 GR340 von Pointe de Polains nach Le Pelais

Today we hiked part of the GR34 on Belle-Ile. We took the bus from Le Paleis to the Point de Polains lighthouse and then hiked back along the coast. Always between 0m and 35m, after constant ups and downs, you reach almost 800m in altitude 😅 but always past beautiful bays that invite you to swim. Even if the water …

Certainly the most beautiful stage of the tour of Belle-Île. Many creeks, coves, sheltered from the prevailing winds, clear waters, transparent bottoms, each bend in the path is a new discovery. There is also quite a steep drop and slopes. In general, the path is to be frequented out of season, like the whole island elsewhere.
