French Channel Coast Cruising Guides

The northern coast of France offers a welcome contrast to British waters. Our collection covers this distinctive coastline – from the Belgian border through historic Normandy to the granite headlands of North Brittany and the Cherbourg Peninsula.

These guides document France's Channel harbours: tidal ports with particular approaches, historic fishing towns, and modern marinas. Each guide provides detailed plans, essential tidal information, and local knowledge that transforms cross-Channel sailing into a genuine cultural journey.

For those venturing beyond home waters, these guides reveal the pleasures of French coastal cruising within easy reach of southern England.
