★★★★★4 years agoIt's a nice place swim and chill out. I live in le panier and I like running to here taking a dip. Drinking beers and watching the sunset. It's away from the cars and city noises. But be careful about your bike. I saw 2 guys trying to steel some bikes. I told them off but they chased me and unfortunately i saw afraid to say something more. Except that everything is good.

★★★★★4 years agoSince we weren’t able to go the Chateau D’if due to the inclement weather, this was about as close you could get without getting on a boat. You can find somefree parking in a little parking lot about a minute walkaway from the beginning of the promenade. We walked around the promenade, there’s 3 points to take some photos, and went down in the tiny “hidden beach” which is a tiny tiny alcove of smooth pebbles that has some waves crashing on them right to the edge. There were a couple of good spots to take some photos of the Chateau, which is where Edmond Dantes spent 13 years in “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas, and was a well worth it detour that only took about 30 minutes
