Presentation
Discover the island of Porquerolles by bike and enjoy a completely free getaway in the heart of an exceptional natural setting. Using the island's cycle paths, explore the charming village, ride along the coastline and enjoy the many swimming spots in the turquoise waters.
The trip starts at the port of La Londe-les-Maures, where you will board the Côte d'Azur boats. This 30-minute guided crossing will take you to the island of Porquerolles.
On arrival at the port of Porquerolles, bikes will be waiting for you at Le Cycle Porquerollais, a bike hire company and long-standing partner of the Tourist Office. All that's left for you to do is hop on your bike and set off on your adventure!
Cycling is the ideal way to discover all the island has to offer, with its many facets: heavenly landscapes, crystal-clear beaches, shady pine forests and vineyards. You can cycle through the village, along the north coast and its emblematic beaches, through the vineyards, make a cultural stop at the Carmignac Foundation or Fort Saint Agathe, then head for the south coast, its cliffs and lighthouse offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.
