Belle Île

By car

Cars can access the island only through the ferry service from Quiberon.

By train

TGV (high speed train) from Paris (and a few other French cities as well) serve the Auray station several times a day.

By plane

The island has a small airfield. Finist'air, an airline based in Brest, operates scheduled flights in July and August from Belle Ile to Brest, Rennes and Vannes.

On foot

It is nice and easy (as long as the weather is fair) to walk around the little harbour towns of Le Palais (the main landing site) and Sauzon (where a few shuttles board during summertime).

By thumb

This is a great way to move around the island at little expense. There are only a few trunk roads and you will usually find a ride that will take you within walking distance to where you want to go.

By bicycle

The island can be easily cycled end to end and back in less than a day. There is a full score of bike rentals at Le Palais and Sauzon.

By car

The main roads that get to the hamlets on the island are well maintained, but if you to go to some isolated cove on the Wild Coast (the western side of the island), you are in for some rallying on…

By tour

Several operators offer day tours by coach, which will show you around the main sights of the island and bring you back to Le Palais in time to catch a returning ferry in the late afternoon.

By bus

There is a bus service on the island with two lines, both linking Le Palais and Bangor while line 1-2 goes north to Sauzon and line 3-4 goes south to Locmaria.
