Île aux Moines, Island in Gulf of Morbihan, France.
The island spans 6 kilometers from north to south, featuring numerous beaches, wooded areas, and traditional Breton houses along its narrow streets.
The monks of Redon Abbey received this island as a gift from the King of Brittany in 854, establishing their administrative presence.
The northern section contains a village center with stone buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, reflecting traditional Breton architectural design.
Regular boat services depart from Port Blanc throughout the year, with a journey time of five minutes to reach the island.
The island maintains a collection of 24 standing stones at Kergonan, forming one of the largest cromlechs discovered in Europe.
