Listed as a national nature reserve since 1982, the Lavezzi Islands are the southernmost point of metropolitan France. A pink granite archipelago with crystal-clear waters, protected marine life — accessible only by sea from Bonifacio.
An archipelago outside of time
Spectacular geology
The Lavezzi Islands are made of pink granite shaped by millions of years of marine erosion. Rounded rocks, sculpted forms, improbable balances — a lunar landscape between sea and sky.
No human construction
Listed as a nature reserve in 1982, the Lavezzi have no roads, shops or permanent residents. Every visit is an expedition into an untouched space.
Exceptional snorkeling
Preserved marine life
Strict nature reserve protection has allowed a remarkable recovery of marine populations. Groupers, sea bass, moray eels, scorpionfish and intact posidonia meadows.
