The smallest of the French national parks
(690 ha), it is also the only Mediterranean marine park, consisting of a maritime area of 600 metres around its shores, protected by strict legislation.
Port-Cros is small and hilly, with Mont Vinaigre (194 m) as its highest point.
Its sheer cliffs to the south offer few openings to the sea. Thirty five kilometres of trails, and in particular the botanical trail, enable you to explore its landscapes, its forest, its forts... and to take advantage of its tranquillity.
