Port-Cros really is an island of beauty and quietness.

Since 1963 it has been a French National Park.

When Madame Henry, the owner of the island, died in 1966, she bequeathed the island to the state, with the exception of the hotel Le Manoir. One of the only hotels in the Med where we would stay if not living on a sailing boat. 

Every day we explored new trails from our anchorage in Port Man, walking among holm oaks, corks and maritime pines woods.
