From the Baguen Hir hole to Fri-Mez.

When walking from the Baguen Hir hole (at the extremity of the golf of Belle-Ile), you meet the Ster Vraz cove and the protected mooring place of Ster Ouen, with some cables crossing between banks to moor boats.

Further, you will find the Koh Kastell site (meaning the "Old Castle"), former Gallic stronghold, and now ornithological reserve.

Finally, you will find the Apothicairerie cave, one of the most famous sites of Belle-Ile, and one of the most beautiful places under the storm, when the waves climb above the cliff and when you may see a rainbow in the sea spray.
