Yacht Charter France

Yacht Charter France

On the southern border of France, the Mediterranean area is littered with marinas throughout the coastline. The famous Côte d'Azur is in many ways more suited to those who prefer to find their pleasures ashore. Sailing into such special places as St Tropez, Cannes or Antibes is an experience that is difficult to find anywhere else and it is well worth just to spend some time among the most beautiful collection of yachts in the world. There is also the dramatic island of Corsica. As with any France destination, it is ideal to visit Corsica outside of the peak summer season, as you will struggle to get space, even at anchorages. Corsica is a favorite holiday destination for sailors from nearby countries, as well as the French.
The western coast of France divides into three distinct areas, the most popular and picturesque being the Brittany coast, which has many navigable rivers and the Morbihan inland sea. The central area to the Gironde has several off lying islands as well as the great rivers, the Loire and the Gironde, which lead into the inland waterways. The low-lying area stretching to the Spanish border is the least appealing as a yachting destination.
