S of France/Corfu

[whisper]

I'm thinking of chartering here in April. Can anyone tell me where, in relation to Nice airport, is a place called Bormes les Mimosas?
Some advice on that part of the world in April would be appreciated.
An alternative would be Corfu but I can't find a source of cheap flights - any ideas?

Bormes les Mimosas is a concrety marina/flatfest exckerly opposite by 1km ...Le Lavandou. I woud guess £100 quid cab ride from Nice - it's quite trek that airport, much better is Toulon airport or mebbe even marseilles? . It's alright, I'm being snooty, yet again...but nontheless it's not easily accessible.

Thanks very much also honourable gentleman. I'll find out who flies to Toulon as I know one of the Cheapies does. God , I hope it's not from Gatwick - won't go if it is.

Re: La Faviere

Bormes les Mimosas may be a bit concrety, but it is in a great base for sailing to the Isles d'Hyere. You are within easy sailing distance of some of the nicest coastal areas in that part of the Med.

Have spent two holidays sailing from La Faviere (Bormes)both in August. Great sailing conditions, lightish in the morning, but excellent in the afternoon. Very helpful staff at the Capitanerie, easy reach of shops, restaurants etc.

Enjoy yourselves!
