Just off the coast of Cannes are two rather large islands, Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat, commonly referred to as Îles de Lérins. The former has a fort that once served as the prison where the Man in the Iron Mask was held, the latter holds an active monastery.

On Monday, Christiane, Stephanie, and I took a ferry to Île Sainte-Marguerite. We had a nice long lunch on the island with a beautiful view of the coast, and afterwards we toured the grounds of the fort.
