Sainte-Marguerite Island
Cannes, France
Take a boat to Sainte-Marguerite for forest walks, rocky shorelines and the Fort Royal, where the story of the Man in the Iron Mask forms part of the island’s history. Paths lead past pine and eucalyptus trees towards viewpoints and the Batéguier pond’s birdlife. The fort museum adds substance to a day outdoors. Check boat departures and the last return before setting off, and book museum access separately from the crossing.
