Ile Brehat
Found on the northern coast of Brittany in the Cotes d'Armor department, Brehat is a small island affectionately known as the 'Island of Flowers'.
Strictly speaking Ile Brehat is two islands, of roughly equal size, that are connected by a bridge built by Vauban. The nothern island is predominantly heather and gorse landscape, and the southern island is more Mediterranean - possible because of the warm micro-climate on the island. The trees and flowers are set in the pink granite of the island - very pretty!
A tour of the southern island - by bicycle or on foot - should include:
- the attractive Moulin du Birlot on the western coast (a tidal mill) and the nearby Chapel Saint-Michel;
- the fine views from the north-west corner of the southern island; and
- the flowery town of Bréhat itself;
A hundred years ago the town was a centre for post-impressionist artists, attracting among others both Gauguin and Matisse.
