Fort Royal – Museum of the Sea

Highlight • Historical Site

It is here, at Fort Royal, that you will find the Cannes Sea Museum. The island has actually been inhabited since the 5th century BC and the Romans constructed buildings there around the 1st century AD. In September 1635, during the Army of Thirty Years with Spain, a Spanish fleet of thirty or more arrived in front of the Lérins Islands and delivered thousands of Spanish soldiers and six guns.

A year and a half later, the French recovered the Lérins Islands and began to fortify them. Over the next 100 years, many plans to strengthen and improve the defenses of the islands were drawn up, but it was finally decided that any effective defensive position on the island would actually become a liability if an enemy invaded again. and took control of these improved defenses.

In 1685 the fort was converted into a prison and it was here that two years later, in 1687, the "Man in the Iron Mask" was imprisoned for a time.

Better for swimming than for running/hiking. The most beautiful bathing beaches with rocky shores are on the opposite side of the island near the pond area.

May 7, 2025,Cannes - Insel Sainte Marguerite

From Cannes, you can take a ferry to the beautiful island of Sainte Marguerite in about 25 minutes. This tranquil island has an almost Caribbean feel. It lacks palm trees and sandy beaches, but instead offers stunning views of the cliffs, the sea, and, in some places, turquoise waters. A walk around the island is highly recommended.

The island is easy to walk around for a long time. A trip there from Cannes on a catamaran is an experience. Otherwise, the pine trees are beautiful and of course the views of the sea are great. There are small bays everywhere where you can swim in safety.
