France | Île de Bendor: The Island Where Life Is Meant to Be Enjoyed - Luxury Travel Insider

Today we're setting sail to a tiny, storied island off the coast of Provence - Île de Bendor, once the private playground of pastis pioneer Paul Ricard.

Joining me is Arnaud Zannier, founder of Zannier Hotels, who spent five years bringing this island back to life.

We talk about everything from the island's glamorous past, hosting the likes of Jacques Cousteau and, more recently, George and Amal Clooney, to what it took to reimagine an entire island. Arnaud also shares why he believes the deepest lesson Bendor can teach a visitor is simply how to embrace the joy of life.

So pour yourself a glass of rosé, settle in, and enjoy this sun-soaked episode of Luxury Travel Insider.
