The Lérins Islands
Just 20 minutes from the Bay of Cannes, the Lérins Islands lie peacefully. Famous for their history and the monks who reside there, it's a true haven of peace well worth the detour.
After lovely walks under the pine trees and a visit to the castle, you'll quickly find a spot perfect for swimming, picnicking, and relaxing. Head to the turquoise waters between the two islands to introduce little swimmers to snorkeling. The Mediterranean fish are not shy there, and you can admire the underwater eco-museum, which opened in 2021.
You can get there in no time from our hotel, near the Port of Cannes!
