Beauty of the landscapes, numerous small villages well integrated in a protected environment, omnipresent sea in any place of the island, very special light due to the lack of air pollution and to the nearby sea, everything is marvellous. Moreover, in Belle-Ile, you will be first amazed by the crystal-clear water: should you go to Baluden, to Domois, to Donnant, to Vazen, to Herlin, to Porh Gwenn, to Borderun, to Dotchot, to the "Galères" or to Kerel, it is the same amazing vision.
The sea at Belle-Ile can also show a quite different face under the storm, and again, it is a magnificent and impressive vision: Donnant, Vazen, Dotchot, the Poulains or Port-Coton give a superb show that simple pictures cannot describe.
