You don't have to ask us twice to put France on our itinerary.  Yes, it's lovely, and yes, there are wonderful historic sites. But, to paraphrase a bit, France had us at "bon appétit." In 2011, we'll have two leisurely visits, one along the Atlantic and the other on the Mediterranean. We plan to end our season near Marseilles.

Cruising in France

Sailing the Atlantic coast in 2011 is more challenging than most of the Riviera, which will have to wait until 2012. But we'll have the opportunity to explore the western and southwestern parts of the country.
