A naturist centre since 1931, ninety per cent of the island is owned by the French Navy. The island is very wild with high cliffs, and it is a perfect destination for a relaxing sailing cruise in Cote D'Azur (French Riviera). The only village, Héliopolis, has shops, restaurants, hotels and all water sports. The coastal footpath allows you to discover the rest of the island. This island is a long, narrow rocky ridge, 8 by 1.2 km (5 miles by 1300 yds). Almost completely protected by steep cliffs around the shoreline, there are only two points of access: Avis inlet, on the north shore near the center, and Aiguade, at the western end where the ferry docks. The small village includes a post office, school, some shops, lodging and restaurants, but no bank. Levant island actually looks less wild from the boat, because of several houses on the slopes at the western end, but it is an island of nature, from the extensive flora to the life style. Come to discover Ile du levant for a moment of relax immersed in the untouched nature during your luxury motor yacht charter in French Riviera (Cote D'Azur).
