With its 3000 acres Porquerolles is the largest of the three islands. It forms an arc stretching from West to East and it is 7 km long , 3 km wide and 142 meters high. Its circumference is about 30 km.
In 1988 the island was put under the protection of the French national Trust (national Park).Her sandy beaches and superb views from the cliffs( on the south side) falling to a sparkling sea, attract many visitors who enjoy walking or biking. Her temperate climate adds its own special charm to each season of the year.
