French Riviera: The 10 Must-See Places
Cannes Underwater Museum
Just 15 minutes by ferry from Cannes, the two Lérins islands, Saint Honorat and Saint-Marguerite, are popular destinations for those hoping to enjoy the Mediterranean. Now, there is another reason to visit sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor. The area reserved for swimmers and scuba divers south of l’île Sainte-Marguerite is the home of six giant two-metre faces resting on the seafloor. DeCaires Taylor was invited by the city to develop the Écomusée sous-marin de Cannes. This project is the first of its kind in France.
Ile St Honorat Wine and More
The island, home to 19th-century Abbaye de Lérins, has been a religious refuge for 16 centuries. Its separation from the mainland afforded the monks from the Cistercian Congregation of the Immaculate Conception a place for reflection. L’ile Saint Honorat’s enviable position near the coast with moderate breezes has allowed the community of monks to live a chaste life, surviving off the kitchen garden, local seafood and, of course, some wine. Today, about 20 monks call the island home.
