France has three main sailing areas in the Mediterranean.

​

• The South-East coast from Marseilles all the way down to the level of Perpignan is devoid of sailing interest, but blessed with numerous, sheltered modern marinas. 

• The coast from Marseilles east makes up for that, is attractive, and equally well endowed with competent marinas, not always that expensive.

• Corsica is one of Europe's great sailing destinations, often over-looked by English speakers.
