Explore nature From Belle-Île

Belle-Île has an incredibly rich nature.
It has been classified as a Natura 2000 area since 2006 because of its rich biodiversity. Protected marine areas, bird sanctuary, coastal moors, large sand dunes, or green valleys, these different environments will allow nature lovers to observe a multitude of landscapes during their tour of the island on foot in 5 days or their bike rides.

This richness is highlighted during guided tours and walks that let you discover all the secrets of the local flora and fauna, so many unique-nature-sites as the Nature House and the Coastal House will offer you to get to know better.
