Thanks for watching 🙂

What’s up guys my name is Ryan I spent the last few years exploring the incredible country of France and I want to share with you my favorite places so here’s my France top [Applause] 100 of all the countries on Earth I think France tops them all when it comes

To its combination of natural beauty and endless history from the diverse Landscapes of Corsica to the Wild Horses of the kmag it’s easy to see why France is the most visited country in the world for this list I also included places in overseas France like French Polynesia

This video is a long one so I made timestamps so you can jump around to your favorite destinations let’s start this video off at the French Riviera located in southern France on the Mediterranean Sea the French Rivier is one of the most highly sought after destinations in Europe one of my

Favorite places on the French Rivier is EZ located on a Hilltop overlooking the coast below I have to say this was easily one of the most impressive medieval places I visited in southern France as was founded during the Middle Ages around the 14th century and today it’s known worldwide for its medieval

Vibe and views of the French Riviera I really enjoyed exploring the pathways that Wind Through The Village you really feel like you’re walking back in time everything is so old yet is perfectly preserved one of the main features of EZ is its exotic Garden it’s a beautiful

Area that sits on top of the village it not only has beautiful plants but it offers an incredible Overlook of the French Rivera it’s definitely worth the climb and 6 yearold entry fee after we’re going to visit Monon located about 30 minutes from EZ Monon is strikingly beautiful with its colorful buildings

Complemented with the backdrop of the merrytime alss Monon was a part of Italy until 1860 and then it became a part of France now there’s a great bwalk that walks along the coast and I enjoyed going out to the lighthouse Pier to get panoramic views of Menton afterwards

We’re going to visit the country of Monaco located right between EZ and Monon Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican the whole country is only four 499 Acres Monaco has been known as a Billionaire’s playground and over 1third of Monaco citizens are millionaires one reason why

Monaco draws a rich is because it’s a tax Haven there are no income taxes and the other tax rates are extremely low one of the most famous places in Monaco is the Monte Carlo Casino it was opened in 1863 and has been featured in the James Bond films after we’re going to

Visit the nearby sanjan K farat known as one of the pearls of the French Riviera sjn K farat is an absolutely beautiful fishing Village that is home to some of the most expensive real estate in the world with its incredible scenery and proximity to places like Monaco and the

Sea I can understand why it’s such desired real estate after we’re going to head over to the city of nce as the capital of the martime house Department of France n is the largest city on the French Riviera now one of my favorite features of Ni is its Beaches they

Stretch through several kilometers all the way down the coast another great thing that you can do there is walk up to the Castle Hill it offers an incredible Overlook of nce another incredible town on the French Rivier is antib located about 30 minutes from n antib was originally founded as a Greek

Colony around the 4th Century BC and a few centuries later it was incorporated into the Roman Empires and it grew to be one of the largest towns in the region today anti is one of French Riviera’s most sought after destinations I particularly like the fort that overlooks the coast another prominent

Nearby Resort town is Khan it’s located about 20 minutes drive from antib like many places along the French Rivera KH is associated with the Rich and Famous and host the annual con Film Festival now just outside of KH is some of the most beautiful Coastline on the French

Riviera it’s called the srl and it’s these Red Rock Cliffs that dive into the sea now I was talking to a local on the beach and he told me that this was his favorite place on the Riviera so I had to go check it out I mean I’ve never

Seen red colored cliffs in the Mediterranean it reminded me a lot of the Landscapes you find in the American southwest now it’s full of hidden Coes Red Rock islands and secluded beaches I love just driving along the coastline and parking in its many Lookout points and just exploring the coast I highly

Recommend visiting here now one really cool place I visited in the area is capd Jamon now the reason I wanted to go here is because there’s this little island with a medieval looking Watchtower on it it was constructed in the 20th century and it’s believed to be the inspiration

Behind the Black Island in The Adventures of Tintin it just looks so scenic coupled with the red coast line and there’s a really nice Beach there and the water is perfect for free diving such an enjoyable place now afterwards we’re going to visit the town of s Trope

Now this is one of my favorite towns I visited on the French Rivier Sant Trope is located about an hour and a half drive from nce now San Trope grew as a fishing Village and Military stronghold until the 20th century and it was the first town to be liberated on the French

Riviera during World War II in the 1960s San Trope started gaining popularity amongst jet Setters and today is renowned for its beaches nightlife and Yachts now the main part of San Trope is pretty small but I love just walking around its streets and Alleyways there was this path that walks along the coast

And it was just really nice to explore all in all sandrope is a really beautiful town and I understand why it’s so popular afterwards we’re going to visit the French Alps now this is easily one of my favorite regions in all of France it’s home to the incredibly

Massive mon Blan which is the highest mountain in all the Alps at 487 M mon Blanc doesn’t have the most prent Peak compared to other mountains but just hard to comprehend how huge this mountain is now the town Loy at the base of M Blanc is Shamone it’s a hub

For some of Europe’s best skiing and Hikes I really enjoyed walking around the town it reminded me of a French zermat now one thing you got to do while you’re there is take the gondola to leui dumi now to get there you can take a 20-minute cable car ride which holds the

World record for the highest vertical Ascent by a cable car with an altitude gain of over 287 M now when you reach the top you’ll be at an elevation of 3,843 M you can definitely feel the shortness of oxygen in your lungs when you get off the lift you’ll walk through

This Labyrinth of tunnels carved straight out of the Granite there’s tons of walkways and platforms to explore you’ll get an excellent view of Mont Blanc and the other mountains now one thing I thought was crazy is that there’s a place where the Mountaineers exit to either go hike to mon block or

Just explore the glacier like we D was such an incredible experience and definitely the highlight of our time in the French ales now when you get back to shamani another thing you can do is take the train to M the glass you can get a m black multipass for about 83 this will

Both let you take the train and the lift to now the train winds up the mountain and you get some great views along the way sit on the left hand side get the best views now when you reach the top you’ll be able to see the mer the glass

It’s the second largest glacier in all of Europe I what’s sad is when you look at pictures of over 150 years ago and you see how much this Glacier has shrank regardless the whole area is breath taking you’ll get views of the surrounding Mountains they’re just like

So Jagged I’ve never seen anything like them afterwards we’re going to visit the nearby city of anzi now located at the foot of the Alps about an hour’s drive from Shamone this Alpine town is famous for its canals hence it’s called the Venice of the Alps now the city is just

Absolutely magical but what I love about the region is the lake anzi it’s surrounded by Scenic mountains and it’s known as one of the cleanest lakes in all Europe I mean I can’t think of a better place to enjoy on a hot summer day one of the crowning features of the

Area is the Chateau de menthon St Bernard the first Fortress was built here around 1,000 years ago and today it stands as one of the most impressive castles in all the Alves we decided to explore it it cost about €1 to enter I was just astonished by the size of it

And how well the castle was preserved there was a massive Courtyard with perfectly laid Stones the chateau’s interior was just as impressive it’s just wild to think people lived in such luxury hundreds of years ago I mean I can’t imagine what it must have been like to live there back then after we’re

Going to visit Grano located about 2 hours drive from shamani grobla is the biggest Metropolis in the Alps with a population around 700,000 one of my favorite features of Grena is the Fort de la bastil it’s a 19th century military fort and you can take a cable

Car up to the top to get incredible views of gbla one thing that’s great about Grena is that it’s so close to many places in the Alps a Scenic Drive outside of Grena is C de la cro de fair is this incredible seink mountain pass with hairpin turns and Alpine views it’s

Been featured in the Tor of France over 20 times and can understand why with the area’s natural beauty a beautiful Lake in the area is L deson it’s this beautiful Reservoir with turqu water and one thing that I particularly like about it is this little island with a church

On it called San Michelle that dates back to around the 17th century I mean there’s no shortage of Scenic churches in France after we’re going to take a drive on the C to Lut with an altitude of 258 M cul Lut is the highest mountain pass in France that is accessible year

Round the road features incredible views and you pass through some quaint Villages like lrav from the highest point in the past you can take a road that leads you up to K du gabier at an elevation of 2,642 M it’s the eighth highest pave Road in the Alps and also one of the

Highest routes featured in the Tory France while we’re still on the topic of mountain passes we’re going to visit kisaran at elevation of 2,770 m c liseron is the highest paved mountain pass in the Alps it’s located in the gryan Alps and connects into Italy if you head south on the pass

You’ll reach venois National Park which is the first national park in France it’s home to animals such as the Ibex now if you go north from the pass you’ll reach the famous ski resort atina comprised of five Alpine villages Tena is famous for having one of the highest

Skiable areas in the Alps and one of the longest ski seasons in Europe The Villages are an altitude of 2100 M but you can ski on the grand Mo Glacier that has skiable terrain that reaches up to 3,456 M and you can ski there from 10 to

11 months out of the year whilea is best known for its winners during this summer time Tena is an excellent place to go hiking and enjoy the Alps another great ski area is aarea it’s located about a 1 and 1/2 hours drive from Geneva well I really like about aarea is its

Architecture there are these high-rise residences that are built upon the cliff aarea was also designed to be fully skiable as cars are prohibited which adds to its charm afterwards we’re going to continue to the slopes of Val Thorin located about 2 and 1/2 hours drive from Geneva Val Thorn is the highest ski

Resort base in Europe at an elevation of 2,300 M it’s part of the three Valley Ski Area which is considered to be the largest ski area in the world with over 600 km of ski slope franch just has so many incredible ski resorts after we’re

Going to trade in the snow for some warm weather on the island of Corsica located in the Mediterranean Corsica is easily one of Europe’s most beautiful and diverse Islands one of my favorite places that I visited there is bona faio located in the very south of Corsica

Bonasio is one of the most unique cities I’ve ever been to it’s this medieval commune that’s built right on these white Limestone Cliffs that are over 70 M High a lot of the Limestone has eroded and some of the buildings are built on overhang I mean it looks like they’re

Going to fall straight into the sea The Bona fasio that you see today was founded around 900 ad when the Citadel was built by the Duke of Tuscany now today bonafos was an impressive town I really enjoyed walking around the harbor it was full boats and it was really nice

To take a stroll on the boardwalk now to get to the main part of bonao it’s a decent walk but once we got there I really enjoyed exploring the old town I mean you definitely feel like you’re taking a stroll back in time if you stay

Around for Sunset you can drive up to the nearby Cliffs east of Bona basio to get a spectacular view of the village as the sun lights it up with an orange glow and slowly descends Over the Horizon afterwards we’re going to visit the nearby St Anthony Beach this is probably

My favorite beach in all of Cora and one of the main reasons I wanted to come here to get to the beach it’s about a short 10-minute drive from bonasio and then from there you’ll make a 30-minute hike with the last part descending down

To the beach when we reach it I was just so stoked the massive rock that dominates the beach is so incredible I mean I went here twice one day the Beach was super calm and the other time it had some decent waves the water was so warm

To swim in and the clarity was amazing while I was there I noticed this cave in the Rock so I swam over to it to check it out to my surprise the cave was actually a tunnel and it connected to the other side I felt like Indiana Jones

Finding a secret passageway anyways we just had a great time at St Anthony Beach the combination of the crystal clear waters green vegetation and white rocks is unmatched and I just love this place so much after we’re going to visit palomia now now if you enjoy calm Waters

And pristin beaches Paloma is your place it’s located on the Southeastern Coast about 40 minutes from bonasio now when you think of the Mediterranean this is it it’s such an ideal location home to some world class beaches one of my favorite features of palasia was its distinct pine trees that line the coast

Now when we were here we found a really nice secluded beach and spent the sunrise there afterwards we went to another one called PL Di aaju and it was this pctures Cove with water that was like glass and it was a perfect place to spend early afternoon another nearby

Beach is Santa Julia it’s a Scenic Cove with a beach that’s situated between this Lake and the Crystal Clear teranen SE I mean I couldn’t believe the watercolor and also had this really cool group of rocks that people were paddle boarding and swimming out to definitely

A great Beach to enjoy a nice afternoon at now afterwards we’re going to leave the coast to venture into corsica’s mountains Corsica may be famous for its beaches but it’s also home to some of the most incredible mountains in Europe one of my favorite places in corsica’s

Mountains was the aiz de a Au is the French word for needles and after seeing those mountains I totally understand why it’s called that the area is full of these Jagged granite rocks that make up for some of the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever seen from the village of ailla

You can walk around and Marvel at the mountains I was also fascinated by the trees up here they were so unique looking and created for the most epic landscape combination there is some climbing and hiking trails that you can go on that connect to the gr20 which is

This insane trail that goes across corsica’s Island next time I’m there I definitely love to go on them and get a closer perspective of the Au de blla while we’re still in the mountains we’re going to head to the north to visit the Ronica Valley located about 30 minutes

Outside the city of Corte the Ronica Valley is a Scenic spot dominated by mountains on both sides I mean I couldn’t believe the scale of this place at the top there was a parking lot and little restaurant and from there you can make a hike to Two Lakes the first is

Lock deelo and from there you can continue to lock to Capello they’re truly some incredible Alpine Lakes if you do go to them expect to take anywhere where from 4 to 5 hours to make the round trip trick afterwards we’re going to head back to the coast to visit

Lil Rus now loc at about an hour’s DFT from Corte lus is this town on the coast that was founded in 1758 to create a new Port that wasn’t controlled by the genois now my favorite feature of lus is the islands that are connected to the

Mainland by a road we drove out onto it and then walked around on them there’s this really cool Lighthouse but it was temporar closed the weather was a little gloomy while was here but if you come around for sunset on a clear day it looks Spectacular Now afterwards we’re

Going to head to corsica’s capital axio located on the western coast of Corsica AIO is a fascinating City full of history and surrounding Beauty during medieval times axio was in Decline until the Geno decided to rebuild a new city towards the end of the 15th century

Today axio is the biggest city on the island with over 990,000 inhabitants now another interesting fact about AIO is that is where Napoleon bonapart was born in 1769 one really cool Place located about 30 minutes outside of axio is the Pata Tower it’s this massive genoise tower that offers incredible view of the

Nearby Islands it’s a perfect place to go to watch the sunset afterwards we’re going to take a drive on the kalank Deana located about an hour and a half from maxio the K Piana is this incredible area on the coast home to distinct Red Cliffs and rock formations there’s this incredibly picturesque road

That wind through the rocks and it’s a little tight at times but 100% worth the drive I enjoyed walking around and marveling at the views I mean the Rocks were so unique and beautiful there if you continue driving on the road you’ll reach the town of Porto the main reason

I wanted to go here was to visit the Geno Tower I mean it looks so epic with the waves slamming into the Rock with the mountains in the back after we’re going to experience Tor D turu there’s no shortage of medieval watchtowers in Corsa and this is possibly one of my

Favorites to reach it it’s a long hike but 100% worth it the hike starts off with a nice descent but as you approach the tower it’s a DE decent scramble of the rocky mountain when we reached the tower I was just impressed by how big it

Was and just the fact that they were able to build this back in medieval times there was a whiny stair on the outside and then another stairway inside to reach the top I mean the views up there were spectacular it was a 360 Panorama perfect for spotting incoming

Pirates and enemies back in the day I we spent the sunset up there and it was the perfect way to end our time on This Magnificent Island after we’re going to head back to France’s Mainland to visit the region of Britany located at at the Northwestern tip of France Britany is a

Land full of rugged beaches and countless lighthouses one of the most well-known places in Britany is St Malo when it comes to Wild cities St Malo may be one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen it was found back in the 1 Century BC by the GS and it prospered throughout

The centuries thanks to its strategic position it became famous for being home to the Corsair who are basically pirates for the French government fast forward to 1940 and St ma was invaded by the Nazis and in 1944 St ma was almost entirely destroyed by the Allies it took

12 years to rebuild St Malo today it stands as one of the most incredible port cities I’ve ever been to I mean I couldn’t believe the giant walls that surrounded the city I also love the beaches of St Malo there were these Natural Pools that filled with seawater

And they had some platforms to jump into the sea I mean what a historic and beautiful area now right across the bay from St Malo is the town of dinard it’s a equally beautiful area with pristine beaches coupled with these Immaculate houses there was also this other ocean

Swimming pool that looks so fun to swim in after we’re going to head to the interior of Britany to visit the similarly named city called denan located about 30 minutes from St Mala Dinan is this charming medieval Town my favorite areas in the city is the port

Of denan it’s located right in the river and it’s full of quaint buildings and I love the boats passing by after we’re going to head back to Britney’s coast to visit plumo located about 2 hours Dy from St Malo plumo is this incredibly Scenic Port Town my favorite feature of

The area is its Coast it’s made up of a very unique unique pink Granite there’s a striking Lighthouse called farted men ruse built upon the rocks and the whole area is just stunning there’s a lot of walking trails and I definitely recommend waiting around for the sunset

While we’re still on the topic of lighthouses we’re going to visit Lear du Manu it’s located near the town of plon and it’s this 19th century Lighthouse that has an arched walkway to get out to it I mean I just like how there’s like two of them such a unique little place

After we’re going to head south on the coast to visit far de mu located at the Port of St Pierre far M was constructed in 1897 and is currently one of the tallest lighthouses in France and the world with a height of 65 M I really love the town that surrounds the

Lighthouse and you can also see the two earlier lighthouses in front of it you can climb over 300 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse for an incredible view of the area afterwards we’re going to head back to Southern France to visit Marseilles located about a 2hours drive

From nce Marse is an incredible City on the Mediterranean Mars was founded all the way back in 600 BC by Greek sellers making it the oldest city in France and one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited settlements today Marseilles is the second largest city in France now the crowning feature of Marseilles is

The basilic Notre arm deight guard it sits on marse’s highest point overlooking the city I love the contrast between the White Rock and the greenish gray Sandstone another one of my favorite features of Marseilles is its oldport the fort San John overlooks the entrance and it’s just so cool to watch

The ships go in and out just 40 minutes from Mars is the idic town of Cassis now I think this was my favorite place we visited in southern France we stayed several days here I’m just so glad we did it’s a Seaside town with that classic French cheek charm now casis is

Overlooked by cap Kanai which is home to the highest sea cliffs in all of France with a height of 394 M now there’s great beach in Cassies overlooked by a castle I mean I just love walking around the harbor looking at all the boats you can

Also walk to the lighthouse at the end of the harbor to just relax and enjoy the sounds of the sea now one of the main reasons I wanted to go to casis and just southern France in general was to visit the Kongs now they are these incredible sea coves surrounded by

Daunting Cliffs and crystal clear waters the one I really wanted to go to is kalank D Vu now there’s several ways to get here you can either take a boat kayak or hik in now on our first day there we rented a little boat from the

Harbor in casis and headed out to the kalank now the views on the way were just absolutely incredible now one downside about the boat is we couldn’t land on the beach you can only drive like halfway through then it’s roped off but if you do rent a kayak or a paddle

Board you can take it to the beach which I definitely recommend if you can handle the long paddle now we went in as far as we could in the colun and then turned around after we just kept exploring the coastline heading west as we relax in this other colong with some just really

Unique Cliffs and rock formations it was such a phenomenal area now the next day I really wanted to go to the beach in the colun den Vu so we decided to do a hike now the hike was was about 7 km long and it had this one steep descent

To get down the beach nothing you can’t handle now once we reached the beach I mean it was really an amazing sight the Steep White Cliffs coupled with the greens of the Pines and blues of the water were just amazing now the beach was a decent size with a lot of smooth

Pebbles we went for a swim and the water was just so freaking clear I wanted to find a cliff jump spot so after swimming Down The Cove I found this rock about 7 m high and did a few jumps off of it I mean there’s truly no better feeling

Than cliff jumping into the Mediterranean now afterwards we’re going to head over to the island of poro it’s part of the Y Islands archipelago and The Village on the island was founded back in 1820 today most of the island remains undeveloped as it’s protected and it’s a perfect nature getaway with

Some of France’s best beaches now you can reach the island by taking a 15-minute shuttle boat from the guen peninsula or you can also reach it from tulon now while you’re there you can bike or hike around the island to it it caribbean-like beaches such as CAD Beach

Or you can Trek around to its more rugged parts of the island it’s definitely an island we’re visiting after we’re going to head over to the Verdon Gorge located about 2 and 1/2 hours drive from Marseilles the Verdon Gorge is one of the most impressive canyons in France one of my favorite

Places in The Gorge is the view from Petes you get a view of the dramatic Cliffs contrasted with the blue water while you’re there you can run a boat or paddle board and explore the gorge you can also Drive above it and get some phenomenal views right by the Verdone

Gorge is the town of muster considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in France musier is this incredible commune situated right below these Rocky Cliffs the history of musor dates back to the 5th Century and today about 700 residents live there there is this star that hangs between the cliffs

Overlooking the city there are many Legends regarding it most believe it was put there by a night in the 12th century to pay tribute to the Virgin Mary after he returned alive from a crusade afterwards we’re going to visit the nearby Lavender Fields of valeno located

About 40 minutes from the ver G Valen is situated on this plateau and it’s one of the best places in France to see the endless Rose of lavender the best time to see the Lavender Fields is from late June to early July when they’re in full bloom I mean it just smells so

Incredible there just seeing all the bees around it’s such a magical place after we’re going to visit the unique Landscapes of provinal Colorado located about 2 hours from marsill near the town of R the provencial Colorado is home to Landscapes I would expect to find in the American southwest the Colorado is

Famous for its ochre colored clay and rock formations there are trails that go through the area and you can expect to spend an hour or two wandering through this unique place there’s also another nearby hiking area called leanor Des orc it’s located about 30 minutes from RR

And it’s this path situated right by the town of rosion there’s two Trails a long one and a short one and it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete I mean the area is full of so much color with the red and orange ochre contrasted with the Green Pines if

You’re in Province this area is worth checking out after we’re going to visit the historic city of ARL looky on the Rome River about an hour from Marseilles ARL is an incredible historic City it began as an important trading port for the Phoenicians and it was taken by the

Romans in the year 123 BC ARL reached its peak during the fourth and fifth centuries as Roman Empires used the city as their headquarters during military campaigns throughout Europe ARL continued to prosper in the late Roman Empire and was a renowned culture and religious Center one of my favorite

Place I really wanted to see on Tahiti was topu it’s this little town located about 2 hours drive from the airport now topu is home to one of the world’s best surf waves the combination of the swell and the uniquely shaped Reef creates what some believe to be the heaviest

Wave on Earth that can reach over 7 m High one thing that I thought was interesting about topu is that it’s scheduled to host the serving competition for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics now the wave was first surfed in 1985 by local tahitians and over the years it has become known worldwide for

Having one of the most consistent Barrel Waves now I drove to this little parking lot in topu and I could see the wave from the shore but I think the best way to experience the wave besides surfing It Is by going on a boat tour I wish I

Islands in French poesia borabora is probably the most famous and after visiting it I totally understand why now the geology of borabora is pure perfection there’s the main island with its towering dorant volcano and then it’s surrounded by this Reef that protects the island from the waves of

The Pacific Ocean inside the reef there’s a lagoon which is home to some of the world’s clearest water and is full of wildlife such as sharks and Rays I mean ser seriously Bora Bora could be more perfect now to reach borabora we flew into Tahiti and then from there we

Took a short 50-minute flight and landed on Bora Bora the airport here is on a Motu which is a little island on the reef so to get to the mainland or the resorts you’ll take a ferry we were staying on the mainland so we hopped on

The ferry and then we made the quick 15minute boat ride to vape it was a pretty surreal ride as we approached the island now we got on top of the ferry and the views were just incredible as we got closer to vape there was even a full

Moon Moon and it almost looked faked with how perfect everything was now while we were here we wanted to see Bora Bora from the ocean perspective so we decided to spend a few nights on a CBO we were able to go to different places in boror Lagoon and it really was

Magical my favorite place we sell to was in boror Southwest Lagoon I’ve been wanting to come here for a while now because there’s this sandar in the water that creates this perfect curve and the contrast between the blues of the shallow in deep water is just absolutely mesmerizing there’s definitely no

Shortage of shades of blue in Bora Bora and French polyan in general now while we were here we had to go do some snorkeling so we hopped on our dinghy with our captain Francesco and he took us to the spot to go diving we first found this eagle ray that was just

Flying through the current it was so peaceful to watch we then went over to this more shallow area and there was at least 10 sharks now they’re black tip sharks and they’re about 1 to 2 m in length and they’re basically harmless to swim with just very curious little

Animals I mean the water was some of the clearest I’ve ever been in and there was also tons of color fish just swimming around around us it’s the Bora Bora that I was hoping to experience later that evening we got back to our boat and had

Isolated on a small Rock Island for our final destination we’re going to visit M St Michelle I have to say this is my favorite place in Normandy and France this place is truly magical now to get to mon St Michelle you can’t drive directly to the tidle island instead you

Can park in the Lots outside and either take a shuttle or walk about 4 km to m St Michelle I definitely recommend walking if you can as you approach the island it’s quite the experience it made me think how people must have felt throughout the ages as they came here
