Mandelieu la Napoule

Tucked into the Maritime Alps where the mountains meet the Mediterranean, Mandelieu-la-Napoule is one of the French Riviera's largest marinas with 952 berths — so you'll almost always find a spot. The setting is hard to beat, with the Château de la Napoule rising right on the waterfront and Cannes just a few minutes along the coast if you're after the glamour.
