SE of
France, definitely.
Being my usual cruising grounds, may I recommend:
- Hyères with the national parc of the islands Porquerolles, Port Cros, Ile du Levant;
- Cap Lardier- Cap Taillat (also Parc) - Cap Camarat area;
- Saint Raphael to Cannes with the Lérins islands;
- NW
Corsica (in settled
weather; not to miss Cap Corse-Saint Florent; Calvi and the Girolata enclave). Further south, Bonifacio and the tiny islands between Corsica and Sardegna.
The mainland is not very appealing in NW
Italy, although the islands are: Capraia, Isola d'Elba and Giglio. I do not think that in a leisurely 3 months
cruise you could go very farther. In case you need details, please just ask.
