The wildest of the 2 main islands of Frioul and the most beautiful in my opinion.

L'île Pomègues is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. The island is known for its rugged coastline, pristine Mediterranean vegetation and breathtaking sea views. You can explore the island on the well-marked hiking trails, discover the beautiful bays and beaches or simply enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature.

The flair on site is characterized by the untouched nature, a relaxed atmosphere and the rich history of the island. The small port settlement of Port Frioul offers a cozy atmosphere with a marina, restaurants and a small beach. L'île Pomègues is also home to numerous historical sites, including fortresses and fortifications from different eras, testament to the island's strategic importance over the centuries.

To get to L'île Pomègues, you can take a ferry from the Vieux-Port in Marseille. The crossing takes about 20 to 30 minutes and offers you an excellent opportunity to experience the impressive coastal landscape and the port city of Marseille from a new perspective.
