On the northeast coast

SS

  • Kerloon, our home away from home for our 10 days in Belle-Ile...and, yes, it was as idyllic as it looks!
  • Kerloon sunrise
  • Harbor entrance at Le Palais, the capital of Belle-Ile
  • Le Palais
  • Le Palais from La Citadelle Vauban
  • Sauzon
  • Pigtails in Sauzon
  • On the coastal pathway, a 60-mile walking trail that circumnavigates the entire island
  • L'Arche de Port Poyed
  • "Les Aiguilles de Port Coton" – rocky outcroppings made famous in Claude Monet paintings. He wrote: "Je suis installé dans un tout petit hameau de Belle-Ile, je travaille beaucoup, l'endroit est très beau mais très sauvage, mais la mer est incomparablement belle et accompagnée de rochers fantastiques."
  • Le Grand Phare de Belle-Ile – 215 steps and two ladders to the top
  • La plage de Port-Donnant. On September 8, 1964, Faithie and I walked on the beach at Weekapaug and Misquamicut, RI, and held hands. On September 8, 2014, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of that first date by walking hand-in-hand on this beach on Belle-Île-en-Mer, an Atlantic island off the coast of France. (This should put to rest the scurrilous rumor that I don’t have a romantic bone in my body!)
  • Faithie on the walkway down to the beach at Donnant
  • Is there a better way to explore the nooks and crannies of the imposing cliffs of La Côte Sauvage?
  • Near Port Coton. That's Faithie standing clifftop.
  • Near "La Grotte de l'Apothicairerie" on the northwest coast
  • La Côte Sauvage in a quiet moment
  • And another tranquil scene from La Côte Sauvage
  • The lighthouse at La Pointe des Poulains
