So close.
So far away.

This independent Porquerolles guide brings together four beaches, walking ideas, restaurants and ferry information to help you plan a day trip or a stay from Hyères.

Just off the Giens peninsula, Porquerolles makes a simple promise: slow down. Bicycles weave between vineyards, paths lead to the sea, and village life unfolds beneath the eucalyptus trees.

From your first coffee on Place d’Armes to a final swim in a cove, make this Mediterranean escape your own.
