Presentation
Spend some energy, recharge your batteries, take a break - Les Embiez can be lived à la carte!
With 90% of the Mediterranean's natural species, the island of Les Embiez is rich in flora and fauna. Its wild side is both the most surprising and the most appreciated: secret coves, reefs, pine forests and garrigue, flowers and vines. On foot, by bike or aboard the little train, the spectacular views of the island and its natural diversity are a unique experience...
An internationally renowned site for yachtsmen, divers and sea lovers, the island is also known for its Institut Océanographique Paul Ricard, which houses an aquarium.
Tour of the island 7 km - 1h30 to 2h on foot - 40 min by small train - 10 min crossing
An unspoilt island...
Preserved from concrete and favoring soft means of transport, the island is a veritable treasure trove of greenery and wild coves, home to 90% of Mediterranean plant species and a haven for birds.
The Embiez archipelago has been classified as a Natura 2000 zone.
The Natura 2000 network is a group of European natural sites, on land and at sea, identified for the rarity or fragility of wild animal or plant species and their habitats. Natura 2000 reconciles nature conservation and socio-economic concerns. In France, the Natura 2000 network comprises 1,758 sites.
Nature trail
Discover the island's wealth of flora and fauna in an unspoilt setting, starting out from the Institut Paul Ricard, where you'll be guided around the island by themed panels (history, botany, geology...).
Free or guided access.

Clean Port and Blue Flag
Wild coves
No deckchairs or bars on the island's coves and beaches!
8 main beaches and coves line this little jewel of the Mediterranean, but one cove can lead to another, so there's nothing to stop you discovering your own secret spot deep in the rocks.
Each more wild and unspoilt than the last, there's something for everyone: small, sheltered, in the rocks... you'll always find crystal-clear water.
The setting is idyllic, and it doesn't take long to feel like Robin Crusoe on a desert island. Les Embiez is rarely crowded, even at the height of the season, so it's easy to find a secluded spot.
Beware, however, that some coves have to be earned, so take care when descending the paths.
