Make the most of your time ashore with Adlard Coles Shore Guide to the Channel Coast of France

With the sailing behind you, you’ll be looking to explore your destination, asking questions such as: How far to the nearest shops and where are the places to eat? You’ll also need help to solve practical problems, such as finding fuel, repairs and laundry facilities. Once you’re fed and watered, what is there to see and do, and how can you keep the family entertained? You need a different kind of pilot book and this guide is the answer.

Packed with beautiful photographs and practical information on local facilities, places to visit and hidden gems within reach of the marina, Adlard Coles Shore Guide to the Channel Coast of France will steer you towards the essentials and pleasures that can be easy to miss along this alluring coastline. Find out where you can taste the sweet onions from Roscoff that are so good you can eat them like an apple, or try the to-die-for croissants in a bakery just inside the city gates of St Malo, as well as where you can sample Normandy cheese, washed down with Normandy cider or Calvados, of course.

Paul Heiney, a hugely experienced sailor, journalist and author, describes the marinas, big and small, worth visiting as well as the welcoming harbours to explore. Written especially for sailors planning their cruises, this hand-sized travel guide is the perfect resource for anyone cruising this coastline.
