wifi in French Riviera?

[DutchDan]

Are there a lot of marina's that have Wifi, so you can use the internet? (and see the weather forecasts)

what sites are good to use for weahter forecasts in the south of France?

when i was last in my home port i called marinas along the coast to ask if their wl-fi was on and working,and if it was included in the daily charge.
The cost g9ven was between 15 and 25 euros for 15mins!
Im now freezing my way around a very rainy baltic,but as theres no internet outside private homes librarys with old slow conections,ive bought a gprs phonewhich i use with my pda this is very onexpensive works wonderfully and which im useing now from my cockpit (blue sky and 'fresh today)

To answer your second question, I doubt you can do better than visit the site below, which offers forecasts for sailors.

Re: Wi-fi not on French Rivieria (digression sorry) !

I was getting excellent free wifi in Dartmouth two weeks ago, when moored alongside on the Town Quay (public pontoon). But I do have a 22dB yagi. I'm also getting free wifi from the anchorage in Falmouth. Not perfect, but OK.
