Going Sailing in France

With its long coastline of over 3,000km, France is well-known as a sailing destination. It offers many different types of sailing environment, from the wild Atlantic coast in the North to the leading maritime centre of the French Riviera along the Mediterranean, and the remote island of Corsica in the south.
