Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, also known as PACA, is clearly still the destination shortlisted by yachtsmen and lovers of beautiful white sandy beaches overlooking a turquoise sea.
But Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is also the region most appreciated by the rich and wealthy from France and elsewhere. It certainly owes its reputation to the authentic character of its villages and the breathtaking beauty of its landscape. Nice, Cannes, Avignon, Saint-Tropez and Saint-Raphaël are just some of the destinations that await you on your Mediterranean sailing cruise. What could be more pleasant than opting for a yacht charter in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes of the south of France with your family or your loved one! A stopover in Nice will allow you to discover the city's historical monuments before diving into an azure sea hauled in by a long river of fine sand.
But if you want to enjoy the most beautiful beaches in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, you absolutely must drop anchor on the sandy shores of the Var. The beaches of the Var are numerous, but also very popular, and are home to countless seaside resorts where you can veer off to indulge in all your favorite activities.
Don't miss the unmissables
From the Alpes-Maritimes to the Bouches-du-Rhône via the department of the Var, the PACA region is home to some of the most attractive towns in south-eastern France. It is particularly appealing to yachtsmen who will sail peacefully on the electric waters of the Mediterranean to the most sought-after seaside resorts in the region. Among the must-sees, we will of course mention the port city of Marseille, which arouses admiration with its famous calanques, ideal to discover thanks to a sailboat charter in Marseille and its narrow streets crisscrossedwe linger in front of the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Villa Méditerranée before diving from the mast top into the warm waters of the Calanque de Sormiou, the largest in the city.
In the department of the Var, we quickly set our sights on the commune of Saint-Raphaël, which fascinates with its 36 km of coastline where sandy and pebble beaches alternate, with the massif of theEstérel. The beaches and discreet coves of Saint-Raphaël are appreciated for their calm, such as the Santa Lucia cove, which offers a pleasant setting at the foot of the red rock and umbrella pines, and the Port de Poussaï cove, a small, particularly narrow beach of red pebbles, which nevertheless offers a very pleasant view of the island of Or. In the open sea off Hyères, the islands of Port-Cros and Porquerolles await lovers of wild and isolated coves, as well as those who enjoy hiking in nature.
The Alpes-Maritimes coastline is one of the most popular in France. With renowned towns such as Cannes and Nice, the Alpes-Maritimes is perfectly equipped to entertain both summer revellers and those seeking peace and quiet. Peace and quiet are the order of the day at the seaside resort of Théoule-sur-Mer, home to magnificent beaches such as the Plage de l'Aiguille, which will charm you with its enchanting setting and fine sand.
