The Mediterranean is the best spot for yachts and yacht-owners thanks to its pristine coasts and its clear waters.
FRANCE AND NICE
Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. French people often refer to Metropolitan France as L'Hexagone (The "Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory - which is shaped as so due to the waters that flow around it.
France happens to have the beautiful islands of Bora-Bora and New Caledonia, thousands of miles away from itself, under its administration. Of course, we all are well aware that the Mecca of yachts - Monaco - is one of its principalities also.
Nice on the other hand, is a city in southern France located on the Mediterranean coast, between Marseille, France, and Genoa, Italy, with 1,197,751 inhabitants in the metropolitan area at the 2007 estimate. The city is a major tourist centre and a leading resort on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice.
WHY THIS VIDEO?
This is definitely one of the hottest videos in terms of its varied content. The video starts with our favorite topic - yachts - then moves on to the lavish interiors of the cities, the cars and the friendly people. The Musee Aquarium and a huge ship just add to the life-like nature of this video. What seems like the icing on the cake is the Changing of the Guards in one of the French palaces pictured to perfection. Princess Grace's Tomb is shown too before this fabulous video ends by its amateur cameramen - Wendy and Todd Beck.
Thanks for the visual creme-de-la-creme treat, Wendy and Todd...
