A chain of four islands, extends up to 16 miles E of Ponte de l'Esterel. It consists of Ile de Porquerolles, Ile de Bagaud, Ile de Port Cros, and Ile du Levant. It's a very, very nice place where to sail.

Les îles d'Hyères, appelées aussi Îles d'Or, comprennent, à l'W, l'île de Porquerolles et à l'E, le groupe des îles de Bagaud, Port-Cros, et du Levant. Ce groupe est séparé de Porquerolles par la Grande Passe de la rade d'Hyères. L'île de Porquerolles est la plus grande des îles d'Hyères. L'ensemble est magnifique et doit être visité par tout plaisancier. Attention à la réglementation locale qui interdit le mouillage dans certaines zones.
