Visit Duck Island and enjoy its underwater trail and open-air exhibition with its sculptures, beach and restaurant.
Duck Island (Îlot Canard) has been classed as a marine reserve for many years and its underwater trail is UNESCO World Heritage listed. Sheltered from the wind, you can hire sun loungers and parasols and spend some quality time relaxing and chilling out. There's also an elegant restaurant set under a traditional faré.
