By exploring these emblematic places from the Pointe du Talut to the Lion Rocks via the Aiguilles de Port Coton, discover each place where the painter tirelessly set up his easel to deliver some of the most beautiful paintings in French pictorial heritage. In 1886, Claude Monet stayed on Belle-Île for 74 days, from September 12 to November 25, at the age of 46. We know about his daily life thanks to the 75 letters he wrote to his wife, Alice, and his friends Renoir, Caillebotte, and Durand-Ruel. He would paint nearly 39 canvases there, among the most beautiful and famous of the Impressionist movement.
