Description

Enclosed to the northeast by Cap Taillat and to the south by Cap Lardier, Baie de Briande is part of the municipality of La Croix-Valmer in the Var department.

The bay is popular with boaters sailing between destinations on the Côte d’Azur for its natural charm and tranquility.

The inlet is wide and, in the areas bordering the two capes, gives sailors good shelter from mistral winds, southwesterly winds, and northwesterly winds.
In particular, the area that offers the most protection is the southwesterly, just behind Cap Lardier.
The inlet, however, offers no protection from southerly and easterly winds, a factor that can cause swell and a fairly annoying roll, especially for those who intend to stop here during the night hours.

The bay is part of the Natura 2000 network, a body created to safeguard the ecosystem of sites deemed particularly interesting. For this reason, in the central part of the bay, the Var department has established an organized and regulated mooring area of about 30 places.

In any case, in the presence of posidonia seagrass beds, it is forbidden to give anchor with a dead body and anchoring is allowed only by means that are not destructive to the seabed.

Due to its unspoiled natural beauty (there are also very few constructions near the beach), the bay is a place of passage for many boaters.
Tourists, however, tend to crowd the waters of the cove mainly during daylight hours, then leave again as sunset approaches, leaving the right amount of peace and quiet for those who have planned to spend the night here.

The only beach in the bay is Plage de la Briande, west of Cap Taillat, bordering the adjacent cape beach.
The beach is composed of sand and pebbles and enjoys the shade provided by the surrounding pine trees.

The Bay de Briande can also be reached by land, via a single coastal path coming from the east. For those arriving in the area with their own cars, there are a few parking lots available in the area between Cap Taillat and Ramatuelle, but even if you leave your car in the parking lot closest to Cap Taillat, the walk to Briande beach takes about an hour.
A restaurant can also be found in the area between the baie de Briande and Cap Taillat.

Baie de la Briande also offers an interesting historical note, hidden among the hills that form its backdrop: it is a dolmen, hidden by vegetation, about 300 meters from the sea.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
