Highlights

Swimming in the clear water of the Mediterranean Sea, sunbathing on the fine white sand, or walking under the shadow of the maritime pines... The Porquerolles Island has 2 radically different coasts: a jagged coastline in the south with impressive cliffs mixing with the deep blue; and in the north facing the mainland, a much softer coastline with a series of sandy beaches including the Notre-Dame Beach which was nominated the most beautiful beach of Europe in 2015. Porquerolles and Port-Cros, the heavenly Golden Islands in the South of France are a must-visit destination by their unique identity!

To see

The wilderness of the islands of Porquerolles and Port Cros
The hidden gem of the Mediterranean gardens of Le Rayol
Plenty of swimming opportunities every day !
Majestic coastline paths and hidden inlets
