Fill up on nature!
The Stang Per valley, a quiet walk, in the heart of the island
To discover a preserved nature
There’s little better than stretching your legs in the great outdoors on a sunny day! Explore the Stang Per Valley on a delightful walk off the beaten track. This valley, one of the longest and most wooded on the island, offers charming discoveries: a historic washbasin, a quaint little bridge, and majestic tree trunks sculpted by nature itself. The rich and vibrant flora includes heather, gorse, chestnut trees, willows, moors, marshes, and dunes.
The highlight? The trail concludes at Kérel Beach, one of the most stunning spots on the wild coast. Depending on the weather, it’s the perfect setting for a swim or a picnic with an ocean view.

Cycling differently
Discover the landmarks and natural wonders of the wild coast
Saddle up! Starting from Bangor, numerous cycling routes, far from the hustle of traffic, invite you to explore the heart of Belle-Île’s charming villages and hamlets. Along the way, don’t miss two must-see highlights of this pristine region:
The Grand Phare: One of Europe’s most powerful lighthouses, offering a glimpse into Belle-Ile’s maritime history.
the Aiguilles de Port Coton: Dramatic, jagged cliffs forever immortalised in Claude Monet’s iconic masterpieces.
Cycling is also an excellent way to access the wild coast’s finest beaches, including Baluden, Herlin, and Donnant, one of Brittany’s renowned surf beaches. With its dirt paths and agricultural tracks, Belle-Île is a cyclist’s paradise awaiting discovery!
While bike rentals are present on the 4 communes of the island, in Bangor there is only one and it’s at “Number 1”
Moments of sharing and conviviality!

Sitting in Bangor
Would you like to take your time and stroll on a terrace? Bangor, its terraces and restaurants located in the town will allow you to enjoy a quiet moment. The literary café, the nightlight presents the latest literary novelties. The library’s youth and regional sections are particularly well-stocked. On nice days, musicians sometimes come to play on the terrace of the establishment.
Good to know! If you come to Bangor on Sunday mornings, you can enjoy one of the largest markets on Belle-Île. Most of the local producers are present: a roaster, two manufacturers of Breton cookies and cakes, two cheese makers (goat and cow), an organic market gardener, an oyster seller, and a fisherman selling the fish caught the same day, (depending on arrivals). Local craftsmen and artists complete the picture for a real moment of sharing and conviviality!
If you prefer to eat under the table, Bangor has some of the best restaurants on the island… Galettes = Chez Renée, Café Coton, on the go la Veilleuse and Le Cabestan, for the gourmet Marie-Galante, La Désirade, Café Clare (lunch) or 180° (evening).
