Porquerolles, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Golden Islands," showcases a remarkable array of landscapes. As you step ashore, you may choose to indulge in a refreshing swim at the renowned Notre Dame beach, which earned the prestigious title of "Europe's most beautiful beach" in 2015. Basking in the radiant sun, particularly during summer, it is truly an unparalleled experience. Alternatively, you can also embark on a scenic hike to discover the island's natural wonders. At the end, you will discover a panoramic view of the island from above. For those seeking a more peaceful time, you have the option to walk leisurely within the colourful streets of the village. Lastly, even history enthusiasts will find something to their liking, as many ancient forts and monuments can be seen. For example, you will find the awe-inspiring Grand Langoustier Fort, Alycastre Fort, Sainte Agathe Fort, or Repentance Fort.
Before departing, make sure not to miss the opportunity to visit the Cap d'Arme lighthouse perched on the cliff's edge, along with the Windmill of Happiness, an ancient windmill from the 18th century that has undergone recent restoration.
