France...
Get away from it all!
 France
The cobalt blue sea and its surf breaking at the white
and reddish rocks at the coastline – the hinterland is evergreen and imbued with
the scent of thyme and the shining colours of the fields – deep gorges formed
by the rivers within thousands of years – old volcanos of long forgotten times
with crystal clear crater lakes or grass-covered hills – rivers lined with castles
and the early morning mist that makes the shoreland seem so unreal – the old part
of towns with old merchant houses of Gothic and Rennaissance architecture that
resemble an open-air museum – great Romanesque churches with cupolas and spires,
adorned with cloisters and portals, ornaments and statutes – the hustle and bustle
on the weekly markets, the busy towns, the holiday mood on the beaches and in
the holdiday residences, the piousness in the places of pilgrimage. The countryside,
the places of cultural interest and people in a great variety – this is what makes
France so particular | |

 Brittany,
The peninsula in the north-west of France with
its former capital Nantes and a coastline of 1,100 km, covers an area of 27,184
km2. Brittany was inhabited as early as in prehistoric times. The dolmens and
menhirs as well as the barrows in Tumuh are evidence of this. Some of these can
be dated back to the 4th millenium BC. In this area, where mass tourism has not
yet arrived, this culture which is thousands of years old partly lives on, its
identity unaffected by holiday visitors. Thanks to its position jutting out into
the Atlantic, mainly westerly winds and an oceanic climate prevail here and, as
a result, the winters are extremely mild. |

 Hyeres Islands,
Natives
also call it the Iles d`Or, the Golden Islands, which include the islands Ile
du Levant, Ile de Port-Cros, Ile de Porquerolles and the small Ile de Bagaud.
They are either protected areas or prohibited zones of the French Navy. For lovers
of unspoiled nature it is quite an experience to call at one of these islands.
If you like it more quiet and restful you should visit the region between St.
Tropez and Toulon (Provence). The crystal-clear water, the countless bays and
the azure sky invite to rest here. | SY=Sailingyachts

Côte
d' Azur,
Who does not know
– at least by name – the blue coast where people from all over the world converge
and where one would think is the summer the center of life – where big events
along the coast of Monacco occur, such as the famous Formula I Race or the Cannes
Film Festival – or St Tropez where the jetset meets and regattas are sailed. Life
is pulsating here round the clock during high season. Nice, the cultural center
of the French Riviera, Antibes where Picasso loved to tarry, Cannes where the
celebrities meet once a year or St Tropez that first became famous by BB – entertainment
and a breathtaking atmosphere are provided everywhere. So just enjoy the flair
of exclusiveness on your cruise. | SY=Sailingyachts

 Corsica
The largest island of France and the fourth largest
of the Mediterranean Sea is situated closer to Italy than to its mother country.
It is 8722 square metres in size, has a length of 183 kilometres and a width of
84 kilometres with about 1000 kilometres stretch of coast. The mountaneous island
reaches in Monte Cinto a hight of 2727 metres. 2900000 people are living on Corsica
which means only 33 inhabitants per square kilometre. The capitol of this island
consisting of two departments is Ajaccio. For tourists Corsica, to which names
such as the Isle of Light or Isle of Beauty have been given to, offers a delightful
scenery with a wide range of impressions. Here, subtropical vegetation as well
as the opportunity of climbing and going skiing in the mountains in the very heart
of the island are to be found whereas the coast is rich in sandy bays. The lush
vegetation with forests, the Macchia, olive trees, orange groves, vineyards and
the countless flowers once induced Napoleon Bonaparte to say: With my eyes closed
I would discern Corsica just because of its scent.
Eastern
coast :
The lovely eastern coast, especially the South of
it and its lash vegetation with the fantastic, sweeping and picturesque sandy
beaches is absolutely perfect for relaxing and bathing. Only a few kilometres
behind the coast, hills densely covered with green forests arise in the hinterland
and invite to being discovered. Here you also find the scenery Corsica is well-known
for, the Castagniccia – spacious and open , mysterious chestnut forests in which
the spirit of Corsican “freedom-fighters” is beating. The pine and cypress forests
do not only reach the coast and afford shade on the beach but somehow cast a spell
of South Seas Flair over the island.
Western coast
:
Discovering, adventuring, bathing, doing sports – for all
this Corsica is perfectly appropriate. The western coast has a particular magic
because of its variety and the beauty of its shoreline and has gained enormous
popularity amongst individualists and experts. The deeply fissured coast with
its innumerable bays at the foot of the Corsican mountains with its charming capes
and tiny sand and shingle beaches is a paradise for individualists and those who
love to be active during their holidays. |

WIND AND
WEATHER | | The
mild climate also allows absolute fans Christmas and New Year cruises . In general,
winds from the west are predominant. Whereas the coast at the south of France
is fairly protected from the Mistral, you should bring enough time for a cruise
around Corsica. The crossing from the Côte d`Azur to Corsica should only be sailed
by experienced crews. The Gulf of Lyon can become quite a storm area when the
Tramontane comes over from the Pyrenees. | |
