Travel

France

- The trip from Paimpol upriver to Lézardrieux, Pontrieux and Tréguier requires precise tide planning due to strong currents and bridge heights.  
- Mooring in Lézardrieux and Tréguier is challenging due to up to six knots of current; slack water, guest buoys and anchoring below Tréguier are recommended.  
- Other destinations are Port Blanc, Perros-Guirec and the partly closed Sept-Îles with narrow, current-laden approaches but sheltered anchorages.

- The north coast of Brittany between Saint-Malo and Paimpol combines Celtic heritage, a strong maritime orientation and a distinctive fish and wine culture.  
- Tide-dependent harbours require planning; Saint-Cast and Saint-Quay-Portrieux can be called at at any time, Paimpol only at high tide over a dry area.  
- The historic port of Paimpol was once the centre of island fishing with 80 schooners; between 1852-1935, 2,000 men and 83 sailors died there.

- Despite having only three kilometres of coastline, Monaco has a shoreline characterised by harbours.
- In addition to the Plage du Larvotto beach, there are two former natural harbours protected by piers.
- Port Hercule offers a steeply rising, amphitheatre-like panorama; moorings are coveted and expensive.

- Antibes is in no way inferior to its famous neighbours on the Côte d'Azur in terms of its old town, hotels, boutiques and bars.
- Port Vauban is one of the top marinas in the Mediterranean in terms of total tonnage, including the "Billionaires' Quay".
- The "Billionaires' Quay" offers space for 18 superyachts up to 160 metres; the harbour is changing, once militarily characterised by Vauban's fortress.
