01 — Discover France
France’s Mediterranean coast is one of the world’s most iconic yachting regions, where glamorous harbour towns, sheltered islands, historic ports, and deep blue water meet beneath the light of the Côte d’Azur. Stretching from Provence to the Italian border, the French Mediterranean offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes and experiences within a relatively compact cruising region. The Côte d’Azur is famous for destinations such as Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, and Monaco, where elegant marinas, celebrated restaurants, historic old towns, and an unmistakable Riviera atmosphere line the coast.
Further west, the landscape becomes quieter and more natural. The Îles d’Hyères, Porquerolles, and the dramatic Calanques near Marseille reveal secluded anchorages, pine-covered islands, limestone cliffs, and brilliantly clear water.
Centuries of maritime history are woven into the coastline, from ancient Mediterranean ports and Provençal fishing towns to grand Belle Époque resorts and modern superyacht marinas. Whether moving between sophisticated harbours or anchoring beneath untouched cliffs, southern France offers a sailing experience defined by elegance, culture, scenery, and the effortless rhythm of Mediterranean life.
