About this experience

Travelers can take a round-trip ferry from Nice to Ile Sainte-Marguerite, the largest of the Lérins Islands, located off the French Riviera. The ferry departs from the Nice port and takes approximately 1 hour, offering views of the Côte d'Azur. Once on the island, visitors can explore independently, with options to hike trails featuring diverse flora and fauna, visit the fishing village, check out the maritime museum, or see Fort Royal, the former prison of the 'Man in the Iron Mask.' This experience is suitable for nature lovers and those looking to explore, but may not suit those seeking guided tours or structured activities. It is recommended to check ferry schedules in advance.
