Little Belle Isle Trail Loop

Small simple loop

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.

Fine sand

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 Pointe des Chats lighthouse (more commonly called the Chats lighthouse) is a danger indicator lighthouse located on the point of the same name to the southeast of the island of Groix. On windy days, the waves break over the rocks, the spectacle is magnificent!

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity. Here, however, we have a special variant: the flow of a river was not used to drive the mill wheels, but rather the changing tides of the sea between low tide and high tide.

There is a bus stop here to arrive or return from Le Palais.
