Belle Île (officially Belle-Île-en-Mer to distinguish it from another municipality in Brittany, Belle-Île-en-Terre) is an island off the coast of Brittany.
Its name literally means "beautiful island", which is arguably well-deserved.
The main town on the island where the regular ferry services land year-round sits at the foot of its massive historical citadel and offers great sights and a taste of insular life.
