Visit to L'ile de Porquerolles (Island of Porquerolles)

Porquerolles is a beautiful island in the Iles d'Hyeres.  To get there we drove to Hyeres, which was about 1.5 hours from our place, and took a 20 minute boat ride.  It is a car-less, smoke free island, population 200.  Though people rent bikes to get around, we opted for walking.  We spent some time on the beach, and then did a small hike up the hill to Moulin du Bonheur (the windmill) and Fort Sainte Agathe.
