Iles de Porquerolles

When it comes to beaches, Porquerolles is renowned for its stretches of fine sand. Notre-Dame Beach, voted the most beautiful beach in Europe in 2015, as well as Argent and La Courtade beaches, captivate with their idyllic settings, perfect for relaxing.

Between nature, culture, and relaxation, Porquerolles promises an unforgettable experience in a protected environment.

The island boasts a remarkable cultural and historical heritage. The 16th-century Fort Sainte-Agathe overlooks the village and offers breathtaking views of the island and its surroundings, while also recounting the region's military history.

Contemporary art lovers will delight in the Carmignac Foundation, where immersive exhibitions blend harmoniously with Mediterranean landscapes.

Furthermore, the National Mediterranean Botanical Conservatory highlights the richness of the local flora and raises awareness about its preservation.

Porquerolles Island is the largest of the three Hyères islands, located approximately 2 km off the Giens Peninsula in the Var department. Accessible only by boat, it can be reached after a short 30-minute boat ride from the port of Le Lavandou. Once there, motorized vehicles are prohibited, so exploration is best done on foot or by bicycle, allowing you to fully enjoy its unspoiled natural setting and enchanting landscapes.
