The French Riviera Cycling and Sailing
The French Riviera Cycling and Sailing
Picture the Cote d'Azur, the gilded shore of France... soft sand beaches edged with gay cabanas... exoticly beautiful scenery on corniche roads through pretty resorts and past secluded beaches, flowers perfuming the air... white limestone cliffs rising abruptly from the sea. Cycle leisurely along this spectacle, then inland to medieval towns perfectly preserved. Visit the casinos, the cozy ports and St.Tropez, the jewel of the Riviera. Explore France's first Roman coliseum, swim at Tahiti and Pampelonne, and return each night to your elegant sailing yacht manned by an internationally qualified crew. Dinner each evening, fresh from the sea, is prepared by your on-board chef.

Highlights: Sailing along the coast of the French Riviera with most water sports available on board, Roman ruins of Frejus, an evening in St. Tropez, the beaches of Tahiti and Pampelonne, the port of Cassis, the casinos along the way.
