Photo – Just off the coast of Le Brusc, nestled within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, lies the Île des Embiez, a tranquil Mediterranean retreat with a permanent population of just 10 people. Part of the Embiez archipelago, this island belongs to the Var department and offers a serene escape from the mainland crowds, with pristine coves, pine forests, and crystal-clear waters that make it a favourite for nature lovers and yachtsmen alike.
Fascinating Fact: The island is privately owned by the Paul Ricard Foundation, named after the famous pastis magnate who bought it in the 1950s. Ricard transformed it into an eco-conscious haven, even establishing a marine research institute to protect local marine biodiversity, long before ocean conservation was a global priority.
