A journey between land and sea, warmth and authenticity

Because there’s always an island to escape the everyday!

There’s something magical about islands. Maybe it’s the way they shut out the world, slow down time, or that irresistible blend of raw nature, rich cultures, and heady scents. Whether you're seeking a volcanic adventure, a romantic hideaway, exotic flavors, or an off-season break, islands reveal a thousand faces.

From Lyon, they’re within easy reach: Réunion and its dizzying landscapes, Malta and its fascinating heritage, Cyprus and its mythological tales, the Balearics and their contrasting vibes… and so many other hidden gems waiting to be explored.

Here, each island is a promise — to breathe, to taste, to feel. To live differently. Let yourself be carried away by the call of the sea!

Runion Island, the intense island

With its volcanoes, tropical forests and turquoise lagoons, Reunion is intense in every sense of the word. This little piece of France in the heart of the Indian Ocean is a true concentrate of spectacular landscapes.

Hike to the top of Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, for a lunar-like adventure. Set off early for a magical sunrise at Maïdo, overlooking the Mafate Cirque — a place only accessible on foot. For something more relaxing, enjoy a picnic by a waterfall or a swim in the Ermitage lagoon!

The island also tells its story through flavors: vanilla duck, rougail sausage, fragrant curries — and don’t miss the local street food like crispy samoussas or the famous “américain gratiné”.

Wander through colorful markets, visit a vanilla plantation or a distillery of “rhum arrangé”. Here, nature and culture are lived to the fullest — always with the warm smile of the Reunionese people!

Malta, a land of ancient history in the heart of the Mediterranean

Malta is an island where the stones speak. From Neolithic temples older than the Egyptian pyramids to the golden fortresses of Valletta, every corner whispers centuries of history.

But Malta is also an island of light, crystal-clear waters, and a gentle pace of life. Lose yourself in the narrow streets of Mdina, savor warm pastizzi from a traditional bakery, dive into the Blue Hole, or go snorkeling in Comino’s vibrant waters.

The island also reveals itself through its atmosphere: rooftop evenings in Valletta, boat trips around the Three Cities, artisan markets, and sunsets over the Dingli Cliffs.

Malta is an island of contrasts, where ancient and modern blend with elegance. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or solo, Malta welcomes you with open arms — all year round!

Paphos (Cyprus): Between Mythology and Exceptional Beaches

On the southwest coast of Cyprus, Paphos combines the pleasures of a seaside resort with the richness of a UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site. Visit the Tombs of the Kings, ancient mosaics, and the Rock of Aphrodite, where the goddess of love is said to have risen from the waves.

But Paphos is not just about the past: its beaches invite relaxation, mountain villages call for exploration, and tavernas offer warm conviviality.

Set off in a 4x4 to the Akamas Peninsula, a wild nature reserve. Hike to the Avakas Gorge or embark on a boat cruise with a barbecue on board. In the evening, enjoy souvlaki or grilled fish at the harbor while sipping a glass of zivania.

Warm, authentic, and bathed in sunshine almost all year round, Paphos is a gateway to a lesser-known yet charming island!

The Balearic Islands: One Archipelago, a Thousand Faces

Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca — the Balearic Islands offer a rare diversity for such a small archipelago!

Mallorca blends vibrant cities like Palma, mountain villages, and emerald beaches. It’s the perfect island for hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana or sailing to coves inaccessible by car. In Menorca, life slows down. The island remains wild and peaceful: explore the Cami de Cavalls trail, savor a caldereta de langosta (lobster stew), and watch sunsets from isolated lighthouses.

Ibiza surprises beyond its party reputation. You’ll find secret coves, colorful hippie markets, wellness retreats, and preserved nature in the north of the island.

Whether you’re seeking calm, excitement, or inspiration, the Balearics have an island for you — or maybe you’ll fall in love with them all!

Lands of character and pristine beaches, some islands reveal themselves away from the spotlight, yet always close to the heart!

In the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, or off the African coasts, they are numerous, surprising, each with its own rhythm and light. The Canaries with their lunar landscapes, Sardinia and its turquoise coves, Sicily with its villages perched between volcano and sea, and of course Corsica, the Isle of Beauty, proud and untamable…

Then there are the Greek gems like Rhodes or Corfu, where every sunset seems hand-painted. Here, escape is plural, and traditions blend with the gentle climate.

Whether you prefer hiking, relaxing, gastronomic discoveries, or secret beaches, there’s surely an island made just for you!
