About Belle-Ile
Belle-Ile is the largest of the Breton islands, lying about 15 km off the Quiberon peninsula in southern Brittany. Le Palais, its capital and main port, is a lively harbour town of around 2,600 people, overlooked by a large citadel begun in the 16th century and remodelled by Vauban.
The citadel is currently closed for works, so check before planning a visit, though its ramparts can be seen from the harbour and town.
Beyond the town, the colourful fishing port of Sauzon sits on the north coast, and on the wild west side the rock needles of Port-Coton, painted by Monet, rise from the Atlantic. Seasonal buses and taxis link the main sights.
