Located 15 km offshore from Quiberon, in Brittany, Belle-Île, baptised Kalonessos (beautiful island) by the Greeks, is the largest of the Breton islands. At 84 km², it offers a wealth of places of interest and the island is a haven for wildlife.A 20km-long plateau, the island has a central ridge with several glens leading off to “ports”, small beaches tucked away in deep bays.Sarah Bernhardt, Gustave Flaubert, Claude Monet and many others succumbed to its charms.The island, 17km by 9km, is both resolutely maritime and profoundly rustic.Le Palais is the largest village on the island and Sauzon, with its natural harbour, is the prettiest with its pastel-coloured houses. The island's highest point, Locmaria, combines countryside with wild coastline.
