The Cote d'Azur - Sailing in the Lap of Luxury

Cote d Azur France
The view of the harbor of Antibes
An attractive sailing area for those who like action and hurly-burly. Côte d’ Azur, at least during the high season, is definitely not to recommend to those who are keen on lonely bays and quite sleepy little ports. Sand beaches, palm trees and the blue sea, many bays with their harbours, attractive holiday towns and the mountains in the hinterland make this region of France one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. A paradise of steep cliffs and golden sand bays with azure-blue water splashing to its feet. The fronts of luxurious houses sparkle in the sunshine. Besides the breath-taking landscape and coast, you will find everything a sailor's heart could wish for - ports with enough places to moor (700 to 1200); tidal strokes and currents can be ignored and hindrances are easy to determine by map and through the clear water. The best way to avoid the constantly changing sandbanks is to keep a good distance from the coast. In the evening hours you will have a possibility to get acquainted with the French cuisine. Fresh fish, lamb and herbs from the Provence to a good French wine will let you enjoy the rest of a nice day on sea.
