Accessible by hike, boat or even kayak, these jagged rock formations create a breathtaking landscape. Nearby, the Frioul archipelago offers a unique island experience. With its small islands, including Pomègues and Ratonneau, the archipelago is a haven of tranquility offering secluded beaches, hiking trails and a rich history linked to the former prisons of Château d'If.
