Grand-Câle
Grand-Câle is an anchorage off Porquerolles, the largest of the Îles d'Hyères and one of the most unspoiled islands on the French Riviera. You drop the hook here and you're within reach of the island's renowned hiking and cycling trails, including the popular Porquerolles Central Loop that winds through pine forests and past wild beaches. The water is famously clear, and the island's car-free interior gives the whole place a quietly wild feel that's rare this close to the Côte d'Azur.
