Do you want to discover the most beautiful landscapes of the French Riviera?
The ones that make you dream?
Here's a selection of the most beautiful places in the Alpes-Maritimes just for you.
A Sparkling Jewel of the French Riviera...
The Lérins Islands, a genuine treasure of the French Riviera, offer an unforgettable getaway combining unspoiled nature, fascinating history, and enchanting panoramas. Located just a few minutes by boat from Cannes, these islands, bathed by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, form an archipelago with two main gems: Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat.
Sainte-Marguerite Island
Sainte-Marguerite Island, the largest of the two, charms visitors with its shaded trails winding through pine and eucalyptus forests, secluded coves perfect for swimming, and its rich history.
The Royal Fort
It is famous for having housed the mysterious
"Man in the Iron Mask."
You can visit the former prisoners' cells as well as the 17th-century chapel. You can also stroll through the barracks and walk along the ramparts, from where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
Within the fort itself is the Museum of the Man in the Iron Mask and the Royal Fort, which notably features an area dedicated to marine and terrestrial biodiversity.

====================================================
Saint-Honorat Island
Saint-Honorat Island, smaller and filled with serenity, is a true haven of peace. Far from the bustle of the French Riviera, visitors stroll along pine-lined paths and discover secluded coves with turquoise waters. Swimming here is calm and relaxing—perfect for quiet breaks in the shade or picnics by the water.
You can also enjoy a meal at La Tonnelle restaurant or taste the wines produced right on the island.
Saint-Honorat invites you to reflect, connect with spirituality, or simply slow down. It appeals to both history lovers and nature enthusiasts. In just one day, you can recharge, marvel at the surroundings, and leave with a sense of peace.
Saint-Honorat is a discreet treasure—an absolute must-see.
The Cistercian Abbey of Lérins
The island is home to an abbey over 16 centuries old, where some twenty monks still live and produce renowned wines. Visitors can explore the ancient chapels, the monastery tower, and experience the unique tranquility of this spiritual place.
In addition to wine and liqueurs, the monks produce high-quality olive oils. They also tend the lavender fields to make Lérins lavender sachets.
Fortified monastery
A little further on stands a magnificent fortified monastery
dating from the 11th century, the emblem of the site. It is an exceptional historical and spiritual gem, blending defensive architecture with monastic life.
Erected in 1073 by Abbot Aldebert II, this tower monastery
combines cloisters, chapels, cells, and a refectory. It was built on high ground to optimize its defense against the Saracens.
The site is open all year round, and visits are free and self-guided (entrances, cloisters, and chapels are accessible to visitors).
Opening hours: 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.
Easily accessible and offering a timeless atmosphere, the Lérins Islands are an enchanting retreat, perfect for lovers of the sea, culture, and tranquility.
How to Get There:
The Planaria ferry company, owned by the monks, serves Saint-Honorat Island.
