Sept-Îles, France
''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.
