I had long wanted to visit the Fondation Carmignac on the island of Porquerolles â the largest of the Ăles dâHyères near Toulon. Itâs said to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.
We were lucky: a mild autumn day, a pleasant number of visitors, and our dogs in top form. A day of hiking, a boat ride, fresh sea air, culture, and breathtaking scenery. Yes, life is beautiful. It takes about 45 minutes to walk to the famous Notre-Dame Beach â that postcard-perfect view is world-renowned. I believe even Monet once painted this very scene.
At the Fondation Carmignac, we were captivated by the kaleidoscope installation overlooking the garden, and by Feelings by Jean-Baptiste Bernadet â Vertigo. (Just like the U2 song of the same name â such a cool theme, full of motion and emotion.)
Enjoy this souvenir of sunshine, movement, art, and nature.
