The île d'Or is a private island located at the east of the city of Saint-Raphaël in France, facing the cape of Le Dramont. This small island is composed of porphyry (russet rocks) and surmounted by a tower reminiscent of the Middle Ages said to have been the inspiration for The Black Island in Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin series.[1] Viewed from the sea from the left side of the tower, a rock, commonly thought to resemble the profile of a gorilla, also recalls the comic books of Hergé.
The île d'Or is a "site classé" (a protected geographical formation), since 17 March 1941. The island is included with this status inside the Massif de l'Esterel since 3 January 1996.[2]
