The Île-Blanche estate is located on the edge of the corniche road linking Locquirec to Saint-Efflam (D64, then D42). Its direction is indicated on the left, just before the bridge over the Douron, almost opposite the rue de Toul an Héry.
Overlooking Porz Morvan cove, the Île-Blanche manor dates from the 17th century (1661), when the small port of Toul-an-Héry was flourishing.
Organized in a U-shape around a courtyard, all the buildings are built of rubble stone, a green-blue colored limestone schist, known as "Locquirec stone". The main buildings and outbuildings form several pavilions that extend to the rear of the property. The towers and roofs of the manor are covered with slate. Its construction would be inspired by an English castle offered by Henry VIII to the Archdiocese of Canterbury
