Explore the Dordogne region by houseboat

What better way to appreciate the beauty of France than by embarking on a sailing holiday around its shores?

France has hundreds of miles of stunning coast, from the eastern Atlantic Ocean, to the southern Mediterranean. Its meandering rivers also provide a prime opportunity for exploring by houseboat.

A sailing holiday offers you the chance to sample life on board a luxurious yacht. If you are already an experienced sailor, then hire a yacht and take to the high seas for a voyage of discovery. For those without sailing experience, you can charter a yacht complete with skipper and crew.

If hiring your own boat sounds too expensive, many operators offer adventure sailing holidays, where you book your berth on a boat and share with other holidaymakers, and at the same time get some hands-on experience helping to crew the ship.
