Ile d'Or

★★★★☆ (130)

L'île d'or is the island that inspired Monsieur Hergé for his comic strip "Tintin et l'île noire" (Tintin and the Black Island). Located off Cap Dramont, its beautiful ochre colors extend underwater. The whole region offers a dozen diving sites for all levels of diver, including the most famous: Les Pyramides.

Fauna and flora include typically Mediterranean species such as carbon, scorpion fish, conger eel and lobster. There is also a diverse underwater landscape with a series of pyramids and arches.
