"The Fortress" - Île Saint-Honorat - Cannes
Île Saint-Honorat: Since Saint Honorat reputedly drove away a menacing dragon around the year 410, monks have populated this tiny archipelago. A fortress built between the 11th and 14th century helped the friars withstand pirates, Saracen attacks and occupation by Spanish raiders, until Louis XIV garrisoned the island in the 1600s. Spiffed up in the 19th century by French restorer-in-chief Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, the fortress is now a scenic ruin. Its four floors of chapels, vaulted ceilings and arches topped by crenelated ramparts culminate in camera-ready views of Cannes, the Alpine range and the cape of Antibes. A half-dozen chapels scattered along the island's ring path offer moments of repose. Nowadays, the monks inhabit a 19th-century monastery. Though the monastery is closed to tourists, you can visit the Gothic church and gift shop selling the island wines and other monk-made delights. If a day isn't sufficient to regain your serenity, the monastery reserves guest rooms for contemplative retreats lasting between two days and one week. PFW-0655
