Let's find it together!Whether you want to sail the French Riviera, Corsica, Normandy, Vendée, or Brittany - France offers many possibilities for sailing holidays. Its rich coastline makes it a beautiful playground for sailing. Your trip will vary greatly depending on where you choose to explore and for how long - whether for a weekend getaway, a week, or something longer - you can find the sailing holiday in France that is right for you.
Choosing where to go sailing in France depends on your experience and the type of experience you are looking for. The calm waters of the Mediterranean to the south are ideal for beginners or for all those who wish to relax and discover the charm and glamourous colourful villages of the Côte d'Azur seaside. The Hyères and Porquerolles Islands is suited to a sailing cruise to discover one of the most beautiful natural paradises of the Côte d'Azur. Imposing cliffs interspersed with creeks, turquoise waters, warm southern sun, the sweetness of the Mediterranean, and the charm of Provence come together to offer you a great holiday. For more experienced sailors, the Atlantic coastline of Brittany can be an attractive destination for those with a taste for adventure and for those looking for a challenge. Finally, head to the Atlantic coast, to discover the paradise of the sailors. Ile d'Oleron, Sables-d'Olonne, or La Rochelle - many skippers offer cruises and sailing courses to help you become a real sailor! All regions offer excellent sailing conditions and a wide range of historical sites, charming villages, and beautiful beaches. Whichever region you choose, you are sure to have a dream holiday in France.
A must-visit destination in France during the summer season. Crystal clear waters, immense beaches of fine sand, small deserted coves, and granite cliffs populated by marine birds. Corsica offers a variety of seascapes unique to the Mediterranean. The island is full of natural sites recognized by UNESCO. During your sailing holiday enjoy the creeks of Piana, the Scandola Nature Reserve, and the famous Lavezzi Islands.
The Atlantic Coast extends to the west of France from the south of Brittany through the Vendée, Charente-Maritime, Gironde, Arcachon Basin and finally to the Basque coast. By boat, the Atlantic Coast offers absolutely breathtaking landscapes like the Arcachon basin, a lagoon in the Landes de Gascogne, Gironde, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean or the Dune of Pilat, the highest sand dunes in Europe. From the steep and rugged coastline of Brittany to the Basque coast rollers, to the soothing calm of the Landes and Vendée beaches, the Atlantic Ocean offers a diversity of atmospheres and landscapes for an exotic holiday.
This French region, located in the north-west, combines both beautiful natural spaces, towns of character, beautiful beaches and historical monuments. But it is above all a playground famous among sailors and a perfect place to learn or improve navigation. Its miles of coastline consist of coves, long beaches, dunes, granite cliffs punctuated by lighthouses, typical harbors with granite houses and little fishing villages.
The best time to cruise in France is from May to the end of September. This is the ideal time if you want temperatures to enjoy more mild temperatures. Summer is of course very popular and therefore typically more busy. However, even if there are more people, your skipper will take you to places far from mass tourism where you can enjoy unspoiled nature.
The advantage of France is that you can go for a weekend, a week, or more! There is something for every wish and every budget. You can find week-long trips from €450 and weekends from €170. However, prices will vary depending on the season.
Dependant on your point of departure, transport options are numerous, and France has many airports served by low budget airlines, as well as many bus and train routes to its coastlines!
Whether you are a family, a couple, a group of friends or a single traveller, France is an ideal destination for a sailing holiday. You will easily find a deserted cove where you can anchor and allow the kids to have fun on the beach or do some watersports. Parents and children alike can properly enjoy and make the most of a sailing holiday in France.
