A beautiful island with a great circular hiking trail.

The small sacred monument we encounter here is a universal symbol of the death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified and became human – but at the same time, it is also a symbol of the overcoming of death in the resurrection. Thus, all crosses point us to the Easter perspective of hope – inherent in Christianity – which, through faith in God, firmly trusts in the ability to overcome death and suffering. "We Christians connect our hopes in particular with the graces of heaven. This gives our hope a concrete basis and it arises from faith in God's goodness and love. And we know whom we can thank when our hopes are fulfilled, and whom we can entrust ourselves to when our hopes are not. I believe this certainty is a grace in itself that we are privileged to experience." (Christiane Völkel)

The short hike on the island was a very nice addition to a boat trip on the Gulf of Morbihan from Vannes. For me, this type of tide-taking was completely new over 100 years ago. The tour, and especially the island excursion, is highly recommended.

A top-notch, sheltered beach with turquoise water and a gradual entry into the water. Paradise.

Each of these small sacred monuments in the shape of a cross, which the hiker encounters along the way, is a special symbol of remembrance for people of Christian faith – regardless of denomination – both of the crucifixion and of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. + "With us on earth, His memory exists, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward the Fatherland." (Bernard of Clairvaux)

The Aiguade was built in 1696 to collect water from a spring and provide drinking water for the king's ships. It was probably Vauban, Louis XIV's great military engineer, who took the initiative to build it during his stays on Belle-Île (between 1683 and 1689). This is why it is also called the Aiguade Vauban. Together with the Royal Fountain of St-Nazaire near Rochefort, the Belle Fontaine is the only building still standing in France! It was the first building on the island of Belle-Île to be listed as a historical monument in 1993. The reservoir, with a capacity of 850,000 litres, is 22.5 metres long, 6.5 metres wide and 6 metres deep. It is protected by a stone arched vault whose reflection in the water gives the impression of a cylindrical structure. From a small terrace, you have a beautiful view over the small bay where ships used to anchor and send their shallow-draft dinghies to the Aiguade to take in the water. In 2012, the entire ensemble was completely renovated. Several panels provide information about the history of the building.

In fact, the tour of the island is a must, not too difficult, with sublime and very different landscapes depending on the windward or leeward circuit. I have rarely seen such preserved wild nature, flora and birds. It is possible to do it in a week while always staying at the same hotel in Le Palais. A bus service takes participants to the starting point and brings them back in the evening. It is organized in particular by “Les Sentiers Maritimes”

This is a type of freshwater cistern for military shipping that was built in the 17th century. It is part of the Vauban facilities on Belle Ile.
