Beautiful and scenery abbey on the small island of Lerins. Very well preserved thanks to the efforts of the local monks.

**★★★★★ Jakub Chomko — 6 months ago

Peaceful, calm, and welcoming abbey. You can enter and join the mass. Quiet place.

They also make a range of excellent organic wines and spirits on the island. Most wines are made 100% on the island. I tried st pierre white and it was amazing

The island is SO beautiful. Easy boat ride from Cannes. The island is not big but a perfect place to spend a few hours, you can even bring some lunch and have a picnic, just a note that you have to hold on to your trash since you cannot leave any trash on the island so bring an extra bag if you bring snacks or anything. The views and surroundings are so beautiful and very peaceful. They actually have a big outdoor restaurant, we didn’t try it but looked decent.

I loved this island more than the main/bigger one. It is quieter, more serene and more beautiful in my opinion. I enjoyed a good hike around the whole island along the ocean. Monks run and maintain the whole place, there’s also a shop with their own wine if you fancy something special. Food choices are limited on the island, but I did enjoy a great lunch at the restaurant with ocean view and ocean breeze.

A unique and peaceful place – well worth the visit

There isn’t much on the island besides the Abbey, but it’s absolutely worth seeing. It’s a quiet, spiritual place with history. If you're interested in Christianity, history, wine, or just discovering something off the beaten path, this is a fascinating stop.

You might even get the chance to speak with the monks, which adds a meaningful touch to the experience. From an entertainment point of view, there may not be much to "do," but it's a grea
