Med France haul out suggestions?

[dgadee]

We are on the Tiber at Rome and plan to do Med France this Spring, haul out over the summer and then back in Autumn. Can you suggest yard locations to haul out over the summer somewhere on that coast?

We didn't do that coast when we went East, so no idea at all. Plenty of marinas showing up on Navily and Captains Mate but difficult to get the info needed on haul out.

Also interested in this for potential maintenance providers.
Two I've had suggested on YouTube are
Assistance Marine Technique : pièces détachées pour réparation et entretien de moteur de bateau à Grau-du-Roi port-camargue
And
Port à sec Méditerranée | Port St Louis du Rhône | Port NAVY SERVICE

No personal experience

That Port St Louis might be an idea. I don't need maintenance, but a yard which lets you do it yourself would be good since I plan to clean up the boat and sell it over the winter there.

If you look at a YouTube channel called Sailing Options, he has his yacht out there and has some good comments

I think this place suits your needs best: Port Napoléon - port à sec et à flot | Port Adhoc France

Thanks for that. I've been in touch with them and it certainly looks as though it fits the bill for me.

You're welcome.
Hope it works out for you.

Port Napoleon is great for what you want, just watch out for the mossies!!
They have boots on and come with many many friends

Yep, agreed, can get a bit windy, but you'd appreciate that if doing a bit of work over the summer, would be spanking hot.

What's that general area of Med France like for cruising about and anchoring? We plan to lift in June when we get there (from Rome) and launch again for September/October. Anchoring is by far our preference.

I found the service at Port St. Louis to be excellent a few years back.

The best cruising area is the Rade d’Hyeres .......lots of bays, coves, beaches, islands to discover. If you want to cruise and then buy an expensive handbag, I suggest Saint-Tropez

What about transport to the airport?

Not sure. We did it by train and a €60 taxi ride.

There seems to be a slow way - bus/train - or taxi. Informal taxi €70 or Port Napoleon at €130.

Our flight looks like it will be mid day, so taxi likely.
