    Overview

    Sept-Îles (French pronunciation: [sɛt il], "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. During World War II, the islands were the site of the Battle of Sept-Îles in October 1943, when a German force of torpedo boats and minesweepers, escorting a blockade runner sank the British light cruiser HMS Charybdis and caused the scuttling of one of five escorting destroyers.
