Belle Ile is one of the largest French Atlantic islands. Lying some twenty miles off the Gulf of Morbihan, it offers a wide range of scenery, some of it breathtaking, as well as a secure harbour (if lying in the inner basin). The main ferry port of Le Palais is overlooked by an impressive Vauban-designed fortress. The pretty harbour of Sauzon on the NE side of the island makes an attractive anchorage in settled weather. The interior of the island offer spectacular bird life, while the west side of the island boasts some fantastic beaches as well as the awesome pinnacles Aiguilles de Port Coton.
