Tips
Pointe de Brouel is the westernmost part of the Island of Arz (Morbihan).This similarity in name with the nearby Pointe de Brouel on Île aux Moines originated four thousand years before our era, when the two islands were still connected by an isthmus.According to a legend, a young man from the Île d'Arz was madly in love with a young girl from the Île aux Moines, but her parents were opposed to his marriage and decided to entrust him to the monks. His beauty, however, joined him every day. The parents asked the superior of the monastery to chastise the couple. One evening, while Beauty was joining her lover on the isthmus, the sea separated the two islands and drowned the young girl.
