There's a small information centre by the harbour (daily: Feb–June & Sept–Dec 9am–3.30pm; July & Aug 9.30am–5.30pm; tel 04.94.58.33.76, www.porquerolles.com) where you can get basic maps of the island. You can rent bikes from several outlets in the village or pay for one with your ferry ticket at La Tour Fondue. All the hotels in Porquerolles have obligatory half-board in season except for the Relais de la Poste, place d'Armes (tel 04.98.04.62.62; €70–85; closed Nov–Jan), and Les Mèdes, rue de la Douane (tel 04.94.12.41.24, www.hotel-les-medes.fr; €100–125; closed Jan–March). Sainte-Anne, on place d'Armes (tel 04.98.04.63.00, [email protected]; €100–125; closed Jan to mid-Feb), has the most character. There's no campsite on Porquerolles and camping sauvage is strictly forbidden, so don't miss the last ferry to the mainland. Most of the cafés and restaurants in the village are pure tourist fodder, with the exception of the Auberge des Glycines, on place d'Armes (tel 04.94.58.30.36; menu around €19), which also has half-board rooms (€100–125), but if you arrive in the morning you'll be able to buy picnic provisions.
