Excursion Belle tour at Belle Île

From Le Palais, Belle Ile's petite capital, take a scenic tour by coach to discover the key sights of the island. Pass by Sauzon, the picturesque harbor over the entrance of a deep estuary, known for its colorful facades. Join the spectacular wild coast of Port Coton to admire its needles, pyramids of rocks worm shaped by the ocean where foam may fly like cotton balls on stormy days.

Then get acquainted with Breton gastronomy as you sample oysters with a glass of white wine at the famous Castel Clara restaurant. Relax and dine in the fresh sea air of Port Goulphar, one of the most delightful rocky coves of the island, where presidents, actors, actress and singers like to enjoy the view over the wild ocean.

On the way back, see the Grand Phare (lighthouse) from the coach and pass Kervilahouen, a peaceful inland village where the impressionist painter Claude Monet once lived and painted. Once you have reached back Le Palais, walk back to the pier.
