I took the ferry out early one morning when the sun was bright. If you arrive early enough, you can secure one of many natural sunning and swimming nooks along the cliffs of the island. Climb down carefully along the stones, and lay out your towel to warm in the sun. The water is crystal clear, and the waves are gentle, but choppy enough so as not to be boring. Slip carefully into the blue, and shift your body along the underwater stones until you are in the clear. Lay your head back and bob with the plushy, smooth water. Then rest in the shade of the pine trees or sun yourself off on the rocks, letting the bright fill your head and heart. This is my happy place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.migration.globechalk.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2014-08-14-04.45.48.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-515 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.migration.globechalk.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2014-08-14-04.45.48.jpg\" alt=\"2014-08-14 04.45.48\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/GLOBECHALK.COM\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2014-08-14-04.45.48.jpg 768w, http:\/\/GLOBECHALK.COM\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2014-08-14-04.45.48-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>As the day comes on strong, the ferries bring on more nook-seekers.

It&#8217;s 3 km long, and has an old prison where the Man in the Iron Mask was held. It&#8217;s sad to leave the island, but makes one look forward to more adventure. Comforting to remember that it&#8217;s only a 15-minute ferry from Cannes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This island off the coast of Cannes is by far my favorite spot.
