I thought I would start a new thread as the other one was getting long and expanding. We are exploring ideas for winter moorages in France(and Spain but want to start with canals).
-14-16m (aiming for the sacred 15m) .
-Draft prob too deep for midi.
-It can be coastal or canal really anywhere in France but east half preferred bc of proximity to canals of other countries (access to Netherlands, Germany etc).
-Live aboard preferred at least for the first season but access to the boat to outfit is needed.
-Safety and not rolly -critical!
-Not isolated- prefer a good town, city ok too.
Here’s what we have heard so far from some great member feedback.
Prob leaning toward south for winter but having a list of longer term moorages for canals will be important anyways for our slow slow slow travel plans.
Canals:
Paris
Auxonne (?)
Macon
St Jean de Losne
(Really like Lyon and Avignon but they dont seem to have marinas?)
Coast
Marseille vieux port (safe?)
Bandol
Menton
Beauliu sur mer
(Prob not Antibes for us)
