# Château fort ou ancien monastère de Lérins

Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Château fort ou ancien monastère de Lérins stands in Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the island of Saint-Honorat, facing Cannes, the fortified monastery of Lérins occupies buildings raised between the 11th and 14th centuries to shield the monks from seaborne raids. The massive tower standing at the water's edge once exchanged light signals with the Suquet tower on the mainland. Visitors encounter the defensive architecture of a monastic community that endured sieges, plundering and occupations from the early Middle Ages onward. The island is reached only by boat from Cannes.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
