Île-aux-Moines, Principal island in Gulf of Morbihan, France.
The island extends over 6 kilometers from north to south, forming a cross shape with small bays and coastal paths around its perimeter.
The island received its current name in 854 when King Erispoe of Brittany transferred the territory to the Abbey of Saint-Conwoion in Redon.
The northern section contains traditional stone houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, arranged along narrow streets near the main port.
Regular boat services operate from Port-Blanc on the mainland, with a journey time of five minutes and bicycle rentals available at the port.
The Kergonan cromlech, located in the center of the island, spans 70 meters in radius and represents one of Europe's largest stone circles.
