A car-free island off the Riviera coast that France has largely kept to itself: pine forests, vineyards, and beaches — Notre Dame chief among them — with Caribbean-clear water. Everyone cycles; hire bikes at the port and pack a picnic from the village square market. Come in June or September, when the day-tripper numbers halve, and stay overnight to have the evening village and its pétanque court to yourselves.
