Episode 2 - The best of France's western coast …and beyond to Spain
In our second clip of the Haven Knox-Johnston series, John and his team set off on his boat Cecienne along the Atlantic coast of France with its amazing ports and harbours.
The first stop is the thriving and picturesque city of La Rochelle, in the Poitou Charente’s region. Steeped in history, with many museums, medieval houses and renaissance architecture (not forgetting an abundance of shops), La Rochelle offers a great taste of what can be expected from an ideal all year round destination.
The Ile de Re, an island just off the west coast, is the next destination. The island has retained a laid back Gallic charm lost from many mainland regions. Once there, you can rent all types of vehicles to really explore and enjoy all the island has to offer.
Looking to follow the sun further south, Capbreton, located at the mouth of the Boudigau and Bourret rivers in the very South West of France, is a fantastic destination as well as a surfers’ paradise. Hendaye is the last destination before entering Spanish waters. Both Capbreton and Hendaye have great marinas for winter cruising. If you're thinking about taking your boat abroad this winter - here's some inspiration!
Next clip – Cecienne reaches North East Spain…
