More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the cobbled quay at the Vieux-Port of Cannes and the harbor air pulls at your hair — salt, diesel, the faint citrus of someone’s aperitif. Georgette, an award-winning Hanse 460, rocks gently as your skipper welcomes you aboard; the city glides astern and the Mediterranean opens, turquoise and insistent, pushing you toward the Lérins archipelago.
