First stop: Île d'Or - Facing Cap Dramont, the Île d'Or rises from the sea like something out of a fairy tale. With its curious stone tower perched on the rock, it is even said to have inspired Hergé’s “Black Island” in Tintin!

A perfect time to dream, listen to the crew’s tales, and admire the stunning colors of the sea and rocks.

– Sailor’s knot workshop to become a real little deckhand
– Quizzes and stories about the sea, boats, and local wildlife
– Sea-themed music and songs specially for children
