Visit the Lérins Island

Are you holidaying on the French Riviera, whether to study French or just to enjoy the sun, and are looking for a unique weekend excursion?

Why not visit the Lérins Islands? Just 15-30 minutes by boat from Cannes, the islands are a haven of tranquillity and a wonderful change of scenery.

Which island to choose?
