Porquerolles, Port-Cros and l’Île du Levant together form the “golden islands”. Veritable gems of the Mediterranean, these little heavenly forests in open sea each have their own particularity and identity. As soon as you will step foot on one of them, you will be able to feel the unique enchantment animating these pieces of paradise where time seems to have stopped.

Only a short boat ride separates the islands from Hyères. It is a perfect getaway to explore hidden beaches, colored villages, imposing forts, and magical gardens and vineyards.

What a privilege to hop around these islands, take a dip in crystal clear water, stroll around the village on a bicycle or enjoy a delicious artisanal ice cream on the main square.

For the art aficionados, a new center for contemporary art, the Carmignac Fondation, just opened its doors in Porquerolles. The island also hosts the renowned Jazz à Porquerolles music festival every summer.
