Porquerolles is a Mediterranean island in the Îles d'Hyères archipelago, known for its beaches, paths and landscapes of maquis scrub and pine forests. The village brings together services and quays around small squares, while paths lead to coves and beaches with clear water. The island's pace suits travellers who want to prioritise walking, cycling and swimming over travelling by car.

Fort Sainte-Agathe overlooks the village and offers a chance to discover some of the island's military history. Jardin Emmanuel Lopez makes for a stroll among Mediterranean plants. For a day by the water, Plage des Porquerollais and the beaches of Courtade can be reached from the village on foot or by bicycle. The quays at the maritime station provide boat connections to the mainland; after that, the island is explored mainly on foot or by bicycle. Port-Cros National Park protects the landscapes and natural habitats of this archipelago.

Visitor numbers rise in summer, and the beaches are very popular; setting out early lets you enjoy the paths before the hottest part of the day. Spring and early autumn offer pleasant conditions for exploring the island and alternating walks with breaks by the water. You could spend a day visiting the fort, having lunch in the village and cycling a loop to a beach. The wind can change conditions at sea, so adapt water-based activities to the weather on the day.
