The Pilote Côtier guide offers precise documentation on ports and anchorages
Some yachtsmen from the north like to criticise the coasts of Provence and the Riviera, which in their eyes are nothing more than a continuous front of built-up areas and large marinas, in a word a real concrete wall. They have never really sailed along these shores from Marseille to Menton. One can only be amazed at the sun-bleached stone cliffs carved out by the deep creeks of Marseille and overflowing with totally deserted islets. Then come the Cyclops wall of Cassis, the highest cliffs in France, the imposing promontory of Cap Sicié, totally inaccessible by land, and all the charming little ports between the large harbour of Toulon and the marshes of the Giens peninsula where pink flamingos nest. The pine-shaded shores of Porquerolles Island have also remained unchanged for centuries and the southern coast is just as wild as many of the Corsican shores.
To say that the area around Saint Tropez is overrun with rich villas with their feet in the water is to ignore the reddish rocky escarpments, the great fleeces of pine trees which descend to the sea from the Capes Lardier and Camarat. The multitude of small creeks of the Trayas coast between St Raphaël and Cannes, can also only make you love Mediterranean landscapes. And even in the vicinity of the big cities of Nice and Monaco, one can still find, as in the bay of Villefranche, some quiet anchorages in a nature preserved from concrete. The Italian coast is undoubtedly one of the most urbanised, but its coastline remains mountainous and the atmosphere of its ports is always lively and attractive.
