Departure from Île-aux-Moines (Morbihan)
Located in the heart of the ‘petite mer’, Île aux Moines is just a five-minute boat ride from the mainland. The crossing from Port-Blanc to Baden takes you to Port du Lério, situated in the north-west of the island. From the jetty, you can explore “the pearl of the gulf” in part or in its entirety, depending on how much time you have. Lushly wooded, it captivates with the beauty of its landscapes both along the coast and inland. Here, the scent of pine mingles with the fragrance of wisteria and hydrangeas.Let yourself be charmed by its peaceful atmosphere as you follow the paths that reveal stunning views of the gulf, nestled between small beaches and woods with enchanting names.
