''For the city in Quebec, see Sept-Îles, Quebec'' Sept-Îles (French for ''seven islands'') or Jentilez (in Breton) is a small archipelago off the north coast of Brittany, in the Perros-Guirec commune of Côtes-d'Armor. This group of islands is home to an important bird reserve, and is the home of various seabirds, including northern gannets, cormorants, and members of the Alcidae family (puffins, common guillemots, razorbills). This is also a reserve for grey seals. ==Islands of the Archipelago== Despite its name, the ''Sept-Iles'' are only made up of five islands and a handful of rocks. The French name ''Sept-Iles'' derived from a misunderstanding of the old Breton name for the islands, the ''Sentiles''. The name stuck however, and two groups of reefs were designated as islands in order for the name to stay true. The 5 main islands (or ''Enez'' in Breton) are as followed: * ''Enez Bonno'' in Breton, ''Île Bono'' in French: the largest of the islands; * ''Enez Plat'' in Breton, ''Île plate'' in French; * ''Enez ar Breur'' or ''Jentilez'' in Breton, ''Île aux Moines'' in French: the only island accessible to the public, where you can find a lighthouse and the remains of a fort; * ''Melbann'' in Breton, ''Île de Malban'' in French; * ''Riouzig'' in Breton, ''Île Rouzic'' in French: the main spot for birds. In addition to these islands, the two reefs are called ''ar Zerr'' in Breton, ''le Cerf'' in French (the deer), and ''Kostann''. Other islets include ''Enez ar Razhed'' (Rat island) and ''ar Moudennoù''. The isle of ''Taveeg'' (Tomé) is closer to the coast, and is not considered part of the archipelago. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jentilez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
