Commonly known as the pearl of the Golden Isles, Porquerolles Island has been definitively protected by National Park status since 2012. It can only be visited on foot or by bike.
Located off the Var coast, Porquerolles is the largest of the Hyères islands. Its east-west arc shape, with jagged edges measuring 7 km long by 3 km wide, and its surface area of 1,250 ha make it the most inhabited and cultivated of the îles d'Or.
