Epic Atlantic Adventure: Azores to France

The Azores, a stunning archipelago in the mid-Atlantic, is renowned for its lush landscapes, volcanic craters, and vibrant marine life. This remote paradise offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, making it a perfect starting point for an unforgettable sailing adventure.

Sailing from the Azores to France is a journey that promises both challenge and reward. The Atlantic Ocean, with its vast expanse and ever-changing conditions, provides an exhilarating backdrop for seasoned sailors and adventurous novices alike. The Eye of the Wind, a historic tall ship, offers a hands-on sailing experience, allowing you to learn the ropes and immerse yourself in the art of traditional sailing.

While at sea, you’ll have the opportunity to spot dolphins, whales, and a variety of seabirds. Upon reaching the French coast, explore charming coastal towns, indulge in local cuisine, and soak in the rich maritime history of the region.

The cuisine along this route is a delightful fusion of Portuguese and French influences. From fresh seafood in the Azores to the exquisite pastries and cheeses of Brittany, your taste buds are in for a treat.

The Azores and Brittany are steeped in history, with tales of explorers, pirates, and maritime trade. Discover ancient fortresses, historic harbours, and the stories of those who have sailed these waters before you.

The best time to embark on this journey is during the spring months, when the weather is mild, and the seas are generally favourable for sailing. This period also coincides with the blooming of the Azores’ famous hydrangeas, adding a splash of colour to your adventure.
