The lerins islands

Just off the Croisette lies a nature lover's paradise with deep historic roots.

The Lérins Islands—Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat—are a mere 15-minute boat ride from Cannes' Old Port at Quai Laubeuf. Each island tells its own story: ancient monasteries, fragrant pine forests, and secluded coves await exploration. Regular shuttles make these Mediterranean sanctuaries easily accessible for a perfect day trip from the buzz of the Croisette.
