Île Sainte-Marguerite
【Island description】
It’s one of Lérins islands where we can visit from Cannes. This island is bigger than another island Île Saint-Honorat and there is an old fortress by the sea. But there is nothing to visit, it is better to have a time with the nature and the Mediterranean. Here, we present a route to go around this island.
