Belle-Île is committed, with you and for you, to implementing a quality approach to managing the environment, developing its heritage and protecting its natural areas.
-
By welcoming you throughout the year to a lively, warm island that takes care of its heritage and environment.
-
By making available brochures and other means of information that will raise your awareness of the island's diversity and beauty, and help protect it and the welfare of the population.
-
By providing outdoor leisure activities that are environmentally friendly (small groups, choice of sites depending on the season, a nature-loving approach focused on learning about the fauna and flora, etc.)
-
By encouraging environmental management (eco-footprint), energy efficiency, water efficiency, waste sorting and responsible purchasing

By promoting the use of local produce and local specialities
How to be a responsible eco-citizen
-
Buy locally-produced, seasonal products from local shops
-
Visit local artists' and craftspeople's studios, and local producers and farmers
-
Whenever possible, use "soft" means of transport (walking and cycling), public transport and car-sharing
-
Choose products with less packaging and sort waste into the appropriate bins
-
Water is a rare resource, especially on an island, so use it sparingly for showers, gardens, cars, swimming pools, watering, etc.
-
Avoid waste
-
Be energy efficient: turn off lights, turn down the heating, turn off appliances in stand-by mode, etc.
-
Leave the beach clean, help collect waste and accept the presence of seaweed: the swash mark is not waste, but the sign of a healthy, clean beach
-
Respect protected natural areas (moors with Cornish heath, seagulls, dunes, orchids, etc.), which are unique in Europe
-
Comply with access restrictions for pets and pick up their dejections
-
Comply with the following regulations
