     | One of the islands off the French coast 
known as the "Golden Isles" for the way sunlight shimmers on its mica rock, 
Porquerolles is blessed with small coves for swimming, and rugged cliffs for 
backdrops, making it an ideal island for filmmakers seeking a South Seas look. 
Sophisticated travelers come here to escape the hustle and bustle of modern 
life, but the population swells in the summer to accommodate those who love the 
island. |
