Family trip: The Lerins Islands: the Island of the Iron Mask
Begin your family adventure by meeting your chauffeur who will take you on a scenic drive the port of Cannes. From there, take a boat to the Lerins Islands, located just a short distance off the coast. The larger of the two islands, Ile Sainte-Marguerite, is home to a beautiful natural park and a 17th-century fort, which is now a museum. Take a stroll through the park and explore the fort, which offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Next, hop on a boat to Ile de Masque de Fer, also known as the Masked Man's Island, which is famous for its connection to the story of the Man in the Iron Mask.

You can explore the island and its fortifications, which offer a glimpse into the island's intriguing history.
