8 Best Places to Visit in the French Riviera

"The trio of Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Le Levant are dubbed Îles d’Or, or Golden Islands. They're about two hours from Saint-Tropez and scattered off the coast of Hyères, but they have more in common with the Caribbean than their celeb-frequented neighbors. Croissant-shaped Porquerolles is the largest of the three and the most accessible, since it has a few studios and small hotels. A sailboat is the best way to get here — and the best place to sleep, too. Coastal loop trails cut through Aleppo pines on the car-free island, where you can hike or bike to beaches like Plage Notre Dame, which has a reputation of being one of the most beautiful in Europe." - Lane Nieset Lane Nieset Lane Nieset is a travel writer from Miami who has lived in France for the past decade.

So beautiful, the nature and the sea. Had a nice lunch and long walk. Ferry was quick and easy, friendly crew.

Worth a day trip. Rent an electric bike. The water is so clear and blue. Each beach has a slightly different feel.

Porquerolles Island is a stunning destination for travelers. I found an informative travel guide on Amazon that gave me all the key details about this beautiful location in France. For anyone planning a trip, I recommend getting a guidebook, and James Patel's guide is an excellent choice. Overall, my time on this French island was unforgettable.

Described as a conservation site with limited development and secluded beaches. Well, more like a Californian suburb with bicycle congestion and the London underground at rush hour. You can surely find idyllic views, but the island is really just a commercial venture branded as a natural park. Probably move on if you're looking for peace and nature.

It is a very stunning island. If you are planning to go to some of the beaches I would recommend hiring a bike as it is easier to get to them that way.

Magnificent place either for a day trip or a moro prolonged stay. Paradise for trekking, with hilly trails, fantastic views, high cliffs and beautiful calanques. Beach goers won't be disappointed as well. If you want to stay on the island, you have to reserve well in advance.

Never again. We didn’t get all the excitement around this island. An awful atmosphere on the island (feeling the hard “heritage” of the island history) with the worst ever service in France (comparing to Paris, Tignes, Lyon, Dijon, Strasbourg, Cassis , Bandol, Le Lavandou), where you don’t feel you are welcomed at all. The nature is beautiful, but it’s not unique: you can find the same azure water beaches and fine pines around Cassis and Bandol, as well as Le Lavandou. Many people take bikes to ride around. The roads are of poor quality, so they mainly propose you mountain bikes, maybe good for half day stay, but I believe you can find better than this to ride a bike in the pines and to swim in the azure sea.
