This first stage of the tour of Belle-Île begins at the Palais, the largest town on the island which is connected to the mainland by ferry. The stage being short, it is possible to take the time to visit the city.
The GR340 runs along the Vauban citadel and the Pointe de Taillefer, then numerous coves: Port Fouquet, Port Jean, Port Quinénec. After passing the Pointe de Kerzo, the path arrives at Sauzon, a charming village with colorful houses and a pretty port.

Cette première étape du tour de Belle-Ile est assez costaud. Le sentier monte et descend sans cesse, le long de petites criques. Très belle végétation et eau turquoise, on se croirait dans le sud de la France.
Nous n’avons pas trouvé de logement disponible à Sauzon, mais un système de navettes permet de se rendre au Palais ou à Bangor après l’étape.
