iLes de Lerins
The "Iles de Lérins" is a small
archipelago just off the coast of Cannes and part of the
commune of Cannes. The archipelago has the two main islands of
Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat and the two micro-islands
of Tradelière and St-Féréol.
With a private luxury yacht you could possibly visit Antibes, Golfe-Juan, La Napoule and Nice
all in one day (15 minutes to Saint-Honorat and 30 minutes to
Sainte-Marguerite). The islands are pedestrian-only; no motor
vehicles are allowed.
Ile Sainte-Marguerite
is the larger, and nearer, island. The island is covered by a
lovely forest of Allepo pine and eucalyptus, with wide paths
criss-crossing the length and breadth. The port has cafés and restaurants, and it's a short
walk to the Fort Royal where you can see the now-bare little
cell where the Man in the Iron Mask was incarcerated.
