Discover the island of Belle Ile on a scenic bus tour, including the iconic Port Coton needles.
  • Discover Belle Ile, French for ‘Beautiful Isle’, the largest of the Breton islands.

  • Enjoy a relaxing, scenic bus tour of the island’s rugged coastline.

  • See the iconic Port Coton needles, huge rock pyramids sculpted by the sea.

  • Marvel at the seemingly endless ocean views at Pointe des Poulains.


Meet your bus in Le Palais and begin your scenic coastal drive to Port Coton. En route, you’ll enjoy views of the Grand Phare, the great lighthouse. As we arrive at Port Coton, marvel at the renowned needles, rugged pyramids of rock sculpted by the sea.

We’ll continue to Pointe des Poulains, the northern tip of the island. Then, we will reach Kervilahouen, a peaceful village where the impressionist Claude Monet spent numerous days painting the nearby wild coast.
