French Riviera - Kiriacoulis Mediterranean

FRANCE
French Riviera
T
he French Mediterranean is a privileged region.
The sweetness of the climate, the beauty of the
landscape, the variety of the stops, are associated
with perfect sailing conditions.
The wind is barely very strong during the season,
the sea is generally quiet, the tides and currents are
mostly negligible, the shores and practically with no
danger, the shelters are numerous, and the visibility
is exceptional. Our base in Bormes is located at the
center of the most beautiful cruising destinations.§
If you have only one week, discover the Côte
Varoise and the Iles d'Or. Less than 15 miles away,
the islands of Le Levant, Port Cros and Porquerolles
offer their charm, along with the moorings of
Cabasson and Léoube under the lee of Cap Bénat,
and the bay of Cavalaire and Cap Lardier. In a reach
of 30 miles, St-Tropez, St-Raphaël and Agay await
for you. Cannes and the Iles de Lérins are only 10
miles further east. In the west, Cassis and the
Calanques of Port-Miou, Morgiou, and Sormiou are
less than 50 miles away.§

If you have two weeks or more, set sail to Corsica, Sardegna or the Balearic
islands. From Bormes the closest Corsican harbour is Calvi (110 miles). Before
reaching Bonifacio, at 90 miles from Calvi, you have a large choice of moorings
along the rocky west coast. In the Southwest, at 220 miles, you find Minorca
and the Baleares. You can reach them by a direct crossing, or with stops on the
French Côte Vermeille, or on the Spanish Costa Brava.
