Port de Cavalaire-sur-mer

06 July 2008
In 1967, the family Tanburn took the unprecedented step of a camping holiday. In the South of France! Exotic beyond belief and the source of many foundation myths. Helicopters landing on the beach. Meeting rich people. Riding Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (found filming in a tiny hill village).
Sarah doesn't remember that much of Cavalaire itself, but it was surely tiny then; just the campground, some hotels maybe, a small town. Not this marina, that's for sure. This is the entrance, which has a clearly buoyed dredged channel to it. We didn't go in: it would be ?'?38 a night for us and sentiment isn't that strong.
You can anchor off, but only someway out, and (see above) we don't have an outboard at the moment.
