Old Er Hastellic Semaphore

Highlight • Historical Site

The Semaphore Er Hastellic was built in 1861/62 and was one of several facilities on the island that served as a precursor to lighthouses and, before the invention of radio, the optical transmission of information to ships. Today only a few walls remain. A board on site provides information about the history of the place.

View of Port de Borderun

Highlight • Beach

One of the magnificent little coves offering a pretty beach at low tide. Sheltered from easterly winds, it opens onto the sea.

Viewpoint overlooking Port de Kerlédan and Gull Island

Highlight • Lake

Port de Kerledan offers a magnificent little beach of fine white sand, sheltered from easterly winds.
It is also a wonderful anchorage point for sailboats and small boats.
The view of Goélands Island awaits you from the cliffs overlooking the beach, a true corner of paradise!

L'Apothicairerie Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The guide claims that this place gets its name from bird nests in rock crevices that look like bottles on pharmacy shelves. That wasn't clear to me on site, but it's good. ;-) Still a beautiful, rough piece of earth. You can easily get here by bus from Le Palais. What impressed me was that there apparently used to be tourist facilities here (souvenir shop, restaurant) that were closed and dismantled a good 10 years ago. Today there is nothing here but sea, rocks and heath, and that's a good thing.

Port of Stêr Vraz

Highlight • Other

Port de Stêr Vraz offers one of the most beautiful beaches on Belle-Île!

Ideally located, it is part of the municipality of Sauzon and is close to the grotto of the apothecary. To discover !

Pointe des Poulains

Nature Reserve

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.
