The boat slips free of Golfe-Juan as the harbor murmurs behind you; the skipper eases the throttle and the coastline opens, terraces of sunlit villas rolling away toward Antibes. The Mediterranean pulls at the hull like an impatient guide, pointing toward the low, rocky silhouettes of the Lérins Islands where pine-scrubbed shores and clear-water coves wait.
