The inflatable boat cuts through cobalt water, the Esterel’s red rhyolite cliffs sliding past like stacked terracotta. In Agay Bay you climb aboard a semi-rigid and, within minutes, the shoreline opens: sheer orange faces, little caves, and the squat rounded silhouette of Île d'Or with its unmistakable round tower. The guide anchors in a sheltered cove; fins whisper, masks settle, and the sea takes over.
