Excursion Panoramic belle tour at Belle Île

Gain a new appreciation for the small isles of the region on this tour filled with natural beauty regularly sought out by artists for generations. After a short walk from the pier to the coaches, leave Le Palais and drive to Port Coton. En route see the Grand Phare from the coach: the island's tallest lighthouse. Visit the original Port Coton needles, pyramids of rocks worn and shaped by the ocean where foam floats on the air like cotton balls on stormy days.

Continue to the Pointe des Poulains, the Northern island cap, loved by the artist Sarah Bernhardt. Pass by Kervilahouen, a peaceful inland village where the Impressionist Claude Monet spent some time, painting the same stretch of wild coast 36 times in all weather.

Then reach Sauzon, picturesque harbor over the entrance of a deep estuary, known for its colorful facades. Enjoy this scenic destination with a stop to take in the view, take photos and relax. Drive back to Le Palais and return to the pier.
