モルビアンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A beautiful island with a great circular hiking trail.

the whole coast is magnificent

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)

Built in 1070, this church is the oldest on Belle-Île-en-Mer. It is located in Locmaria, in the east of the island.

It is neither a stella nor a construction of the Second World War intended to test the speed of ships. It is a beacon (marine marker) intended for boats approaching Groix. As evidenced by the black and white paint affixed on the sea side (like most lighthouses)

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.
