What does this mean: the off-shore islands of {{{Ile d'Yeu and Belle-Ile. }}} Belle is female? but Belle-Ile reminded me so much of 'belly'

From http://www.belle-ile.com/:

Belle Ile en Mer is the largest of the French Islands in the Atlantic,
situaded off the south coast of Brittany and with more than 100 kilometres
of coastline and a surface area of 84 km2 : that is, 20 km in length and
9 in width, beaches of fine sand, creeks-with water of emerald green,
variety of seabirds nest amidst the heath and gorse.
And on the Google translation of http://www.liledyeu.com/, I found this:
Welcome on the gate of this small paradise which one calls the island of Yeu!

This island has very to like, that it is the diversity of its landscapes (sandy beaches with the escarpés rocks), its beauty (picturesque houses...), its climate (a particular sunning) or the heat of its reception....

And for those which would not be convinced yet, even after the visit of this site, I would have only one council to give them: "Go on the island, will not return you from there!"
