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, famous for having held the mysterious "Man in the Iron Mask," is a must-see. Today a museum, this site recounts the captivating story of this legendary prisoner and the many eras of the island’s history.
How to Get There:
The Riviera Lines, Horizon, and Trans Côte d'Azur ferry companies provide transport to
Sainte-Marguerite Island.

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.
It is home to the Cistercian Abbey of Lérins, over 16 centuries old, where around twenty monks still live and produce renowned wines. Visitors can explore ancient chapels, the fortified monastery tower, and experience the unique tranquility of this spiritual site.
In addition to wine and liqueurs, the monks also produce high-quality olive oil, and they maintain lavender plots used to make Lérins lavender sachets.
At the southern tip of the island stands a fortified monastery from the 11th century, the emblem of the site. It is an exceptional historical and spiritual gem, blending defensive architecture with monastic life.
Built in 1073 by Abbot Aldebert II, this tower-monastery combines cloisters, chapels, monks’ cells, and a refectory. It was constructed on elevated ground to enhance its defense against Saracen invasions.
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.
