Coastal Views and Lighthouses

Belle-Île-en-Mer's rugged coastline features a collection of historic maritime structures and natural formations. The island's lighthouses, including the 19th-century Goulphar and the solar-powered Poulains, provide essential navigation for the Bay of Biscay. This selection includes 17th-century military architecture like the Vauban fortifications in Le Palais, alongside prominent coastal rocks and reefs like Men Du and Piler Beger, which characterize the island's Atlantic-facing cliffs and eastern shores.
