Porquerolles Island

After reaching Tour Fondue on the Giens Peninsula, we reach the small port to board the ferry that takes us to Porquerolles Island in about 15 minutes.

The island is the largest in the Port-Cros National Park archipelago, one of France's eleven centers for nature and biodiversity protection. Shaped like a crescent, Porquerolles enchants visitors with its hidden treasures and beaches. Its main activities are hiking, cycling, and diving.

Our trek winds through some of the island's trails, past vestiges of bygone eras and expanses of olive groves and vineyards. Reaching the southern coast, a scenic cliff path offers us breathtaking views. An interesting route to learn about the history of this small jewel of great naturalistic value.

Depending on the time available, a dip in the island's crystal clear waters can be planned at the end of the trek.

In the afternoon, return by boat to Tour Fondue.
