Located 15 km off Quiberon’s coast, measuring 20 km long and 9 km wide, Belle-Île-en-Mer is the largest of the Morbihan islands, and is actually the biggest in Brittany. After a 45-minute crossing aboard one of our boats, you will be welcomed by the impressive Vauban citadel towering over Le Palais – the island’s main port. Close to 5,300 people live on Belle-Île-en-Mer all year round. Belle-Île is a mythical island that has managed to retain its original charm, and is a true gem worth visiting in any season.
Whether you live on the island, are simply there for a day trip or on holiday, La Compagnie Océane organises quick crossings all year to Belle-Île-en-Mer from the ferry terminal in Quiberon – either to Le Palais, or Sauzon during the summer.
Priding itself in its hundred kilometres of hiking paths and forty kilometres of marked paths specially for bikes – far from the main roads – Belle-Île-en-Mer is a true haven for nature-lovers. Whether travelling to the island as a family, as part of a group, as a couple or alone, you can board the boat in Quiberon either on foot, in your car or on your bicycle to discover Belle-Île-en-Mer at your own pace.
