Ile aux Moines
The Ile aux Moines is the largest island to be found in the Morbihan Gulf, and is approximately 6km long by 3km wide. Approximately 600 people live on the island, a number greatly increased during summer months.
The Ile aux Moines can easily be visited by boat, and contains several interesting prehistoric / neolithic sites of interest. These include the 'cromlech de Kergonan' and the dolmen at Penhap.
The island also contains some lovely houses in typical Breton architecture style, dating mostly from the 17th-18th centuries.
The Ile aux Moines, receiving warm tides from the Atlantic, has its own micro-climate, much warmer than most of Brittany, and as you travel around you will see fig trees and mimosas, usually confined to the southern parts of France
