Aiguilles de Port-Coton, Rock formations on the Atlantic coast in Belle-Île-en-Mer, France.
The Aiguilles de Port-Coton consist of sharp granite peaks rising from the sea, forming distinct shapes including a central rock called The King.
Claude Monet spent two months in 1886 at Belle-Île, creating 39 paintings of the coast with the Aiguilles de Port-Coton as a central subject.
Local residents have named individual rock formations, with specific titles such as The King's Dog, The Lion, and Mont Saint Michel.
The formations are accessible through marked hiking paths along the western coast of Belle-Île, with optimal viewing conditions during late afternoon.
During strong winds, the sea spray around the rocks creates white foam patterns that inspired the name Port-Coton, meaning Cotton Port.
