They are located in the Audierne bay around 0.5 kilometres (1,600 feet) from the Bourbonnais point. The two main isles of the group are separated by a narrow strait and on the southern island, l'Île Sud du Prince-de-Monaco, an unnamed hill reaches an elevation of 99 metres (325 feet) above sea level.

Their name was chosen by Raymond Rallier du Baty in 1908/1909 to honour Albert I, Prince of Monaco.[2]
