Discover Belle-Île
If you're of the mindset "Brittany captures your heart,"
then you're going to love Belle-Île. And if you know it… well, you at least know why you return.
If you haven't yet had the chance, you're incredibly lucky: you're about to escape without giving your carbon footprint a nasty jolt.
Know that Belle-Île-en-Mer is a discreet and charming island, located off the coast of Brittany. A mini paradise where fine sandy beaches, steep cliffs, quaint little ports, and green countryside meet.
The kind of place that charms you better than a flute player!
It's perfect for those looking to escape the tumult and rejuvenate while breathing in the fresh, iodine-rich air.
So, on a gravel bike, it's even better!
