Sailing through the French canals to the Mediterranean | French Waterways

Sailing Through France
Topic

category.php

Rather than sail across the Bay of Biscay and around Spain and Portugal to get to Andalucia, in the late autumn, we decided to sail our yacht through the French canals to get to the Mediterranean. And take our time doing it.

It turned out to be nine months of the most memorable experiences.
