To the Golden Islands

In this article, we take you to the islands of Hyères, also known as the Golden Islands.

The îles d’Hyères archipelago forms the southernmost tip of Provence. It comprises three islands: Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant. 3 dream islands that can be reached without traveling to the other side of the world! All you have to do is take a shuttle bus from Giens. Ready for the trip? Camping Île d’Or, our family-friendly, authentic campsite on the Presqu’île de Giens, makes an easy base for exploring all three islands in a single stay.

Porquerolles, pearl of the Hyères islands

This island paradise is renowned for its pine-covered beaches, Cap d’Arme lighthouse, Oustaou-de-Diou cove and magnificent seabed, home to a wealth of flora and fauna.

It boasts some of the finest beaches on the Côte d’Azur (Notre Dame, La Courtade, Plage d’Argent and Plage du Langoustier). The water is breathtakingly pure. Our guide to visiting Porquerolles from our campsites walks you through the ferry crossing and the island’s best-loved spots in more detail.

Port Cros, a veritable sanctuary for nature

Port Cros is a protected area with no cars or bicycles. It’s the most unspoilt of the Golden Islands. A complete change of scenery!
30 km of trails to discover an exceptionally rich environment.

Emerald waters teeming with fish will make you want to explore the seabed. So don’t forget your mask and snorkel. The underwater trail at Plage de la Palud will guide you in your observation.
