Le Palais, the capital of Belle-Île-en-Mer

Le Palais is the main town of Belle-Île-en-Mer and its entry port, connected to the mainland by Compagnie Océane ferries departing from Quiberon. Dominated by the imposing Vauban citadel, the port of Le Palais offers a remarkable panorama of the fortifications and the bay. The rive Eva Jouan, named after the Breton poet who coined the expression 'the well-named' for Belle-Île in her collection De la grève (1896), is a popular promenade along the port.

A festive and popular event

La Braderie de l'Île brings together locals and holidaymakers in a friendly and festive atmosphere. Musical entertainment, including the Barbaroké, adds an original touch to this event that celebrates the island spirit and the pleasure of seaside treasure hunting.
