For the city in Quebec, see Sept-Îles, Quebec
Sept-Îles or Jentilez 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. 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 are as followed:
In addition to these islands, the two reefs are called ar Zerr in Breton, le Cerf in French, and Kostann.
Other islets include Enez ar Razhed and ar Moudennoù.
The isle of Taveeg is closer to the coast, and is not considered part of the archipelago.
