On arrival, report to the gendarmerie in the Mairie.
Docking
The anchorage off the main village is very deep (60 ft) and bedeviled by strong gusts rolling down the high hills.
In even stronger winds one should feel one’s way towards the head of the bay, watching the depth carefully. In light winds, it is possible to bring the boat alongside the fishing quay on the east side of the bay.
