    Gorgeous beach front promenade that comes with a free derma-abrasion peeling if you walk right next to the beach on a windy day. The view is great though and it has a very elevated and lovely feel to walk there. However, during festival season, it is super crowded and hard to get around.

    It is a beautiful quiet island even though the ferry was packed. We walked the entire island with our dog, it was relaxing. No noise, lots of water fountains to hydrate. It is definite must do. Plus if you have a dog it is an amazing g outing also for them.

    This is the old area of the city. The church, the castle, the museum, etc. all are very nice. Enjoyed walking along the small routes here.

    We stopped by the market on a sunny morning and the number of vendors with fresh produce was huge! There were flowers, vegetables, cheese, sausages, dried spices, fish and seafood, all meats and poultry and honey. Other vendors sold Japanese food, fresh squeezed fruit drinks, Lebanese food, pastries, pastas, nougats and even fried zucchini flowers… it was amazing!

    It is easy to find and there are a number of parking garages nearby, as well as being close to the promenade. Everyone was very friendly and helpful in both French and English.
    Worth a visit for sure!

    We did some shopping on this street on the way back to the train station. Lots of cute shops, some more affordable than others. We enjoyed it.

    Such a gorgeous natural island with cute little bays and amazing views. Loved spending the day there but be aware that there aren't really any amenities on the island and if the restaurant is closed, there isn't anywhere you can buy food, drinks or use the bathroom.
    Also noticed the ferry times are rather suggestions and do not run like clockwork as you might be used from your own country.
    The island has a lot of history though, beautiful nature and is great for walks.

    This is definitely the must-see. Climbing up to the top of the tower can see the view of the whole city, very worth the effort.

    A beautiful walk painting. It has the symbols of the city, i.e. movies. It looks 3-D and very lively. Would love to explore more.

    Climbed up to get a viewpoint of the city. Nicer at night. The church is also quite grand. Good place to worship.

    Quite a place to finally see after hearing all about it during the different film festivals that are held there. There are life size cutouts of famous stars on the steps of the place that you can take a selfie with.
