Golfe du Morbihan

The Golfe du Morbihan, connected with the Atlantic only by a narrow channel, is an attractive inland sea with numerous small islands which is one of the most popular places in Brittany. On the island of Arz there are a number of standing stones, and on Gavrinis an 8 m/26ft high tumulus. The largest and most populous of the islands is the Ile aux Moines (Monks' Island), which once belonged to a monastery.
