Boat Trip to Saint-Honorat Island

About this activity

Reconnect with silence and purity. Step onto a private island where time stopped 1,600 years ago, surrounded only by birdsong, ocean breezes, and distant monks' chants.

Enjoy a fully seamless day trip with everything handled, from your doorstep in Nice to the island crossing. Saint-Honorat is a sacred sanctuary. It is a moment of grace and an invitation to disconnect, breathe, and regain your serenity.

THE MONKS' SAVOIR-FAIRE & GASTRONOMY:

The resident Cistercian monks produce everything by hand. Visit the island's boutique to purchase their acclaimed "Vins de l'Abbaye" or enjoy a tasting by the glass at your own pace. For lunch, the island’s exclusive restaurant, "La Tonnelle," serves exceptional, high-quality cuisine in a stunning seaside setting.

Itinerary

  1. L’ile Saint Honorat

    4 hours Admission included

    The Abbey of Lérins has been a beacon of spirituality since the 5th century. You will have total freedom to explore the island at your own pace. Walk through the pine forests, visit the beautiful church, and admire the exterior of the historic Fortified Monastery (the iconic tower by the sea, currently undergoing a meticulous restoration until late June 2026).

    Summer Bonus: During June and July, the resident monks sometimes offer spontaneous, free guided walks. This is completely subject to their daily spiritual schedule and cannot be guaranteed, making it a beautiful surprise if it happens!

  2. Palais Des Festivals

    30 min

    After the ferry return, step onto the glamour of Cannes. Enjoy a walk to see the Palais des Festivals and the famous Red Carpet. Your chauffeur will pick you up directly at Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, for the return drive to Nice.
