Belle Île en Mer (1)

We were lucky to be invited up to Belle Île last month to visit cousins Jean-Pierre & Catherine in their holiday home. Thankfully the sea wasn't too rough for the 45 minute crossing from Quiberon considering recent conditions, but we did manage to get rather wet on our visits several times!

The sea was rather rougher this day
Lots of flooding here too - JP's car ISN'T parked in the carpark!

The next day the light was amazing...
---with views over Quiberon on the horizon...
...and the lighthouse at La Pointe des Poulains near which Sarah Bernhardt had a home
The seabirds seemed happy, despite the hailstorm that attacked us with no shelter to hand!


The pot of gold is somewhere on the mainland!
