The preservation of the exceptional area of the Island Saint Honorat is the result of a fragile balance that can only be maintained if the level of frequenting is compatible with the environment.

The monks of the Lérins’ abbey, landowners of the Island Saint Honorat for the last sixteen centuries, preserve the quality of this environment close to the city of Cannes, by :

-	Protecting the natural forest area on the whole of the island. Their activity has contributed in making this place one of the last exploited domains of the Alpes-Maritimes’ littoral.
-	The maintenance of a unique architectural heritage offering in itself testimonies of our history and culture from the Sixth to the Nineteenth century.
-	The upholding of a tradition based on the greeting, hospitality and serenity.

This site is at present threatened by the degradations and effects on the environment caused by the uncontrolled frequentation of tourists.
