Beautiful cove on the west coast of the Maddalena, protected from the north. The surrounding area is clear.
At the bottom there is a dock.
Mooring buoys on rocky or sandy funds by 5 m.
In the southern part is another cove, a few houses and an old quarry without interest. Formerly, pink granite boulders were transported by ship across the world. The Cala Francese granite was used for the construction of the Statue of Liberty.

Belle anse sur la côte Ouest de la Maddalena, protégée du nord. Les abords sont clairs.
Au fond un ponton.
On mouillera sur les bouées, sur des fonds rocheux ou sableux par 5
m.
Dans la partie sud une autre anse, quelques maisons et une ancienne
carrière sans intérêt. Autrefois, les blocs de granit rose étaient transportés par navire à travers le monde. Le granit de cala Francese fut utilisé pour la construction de la statue de la Liberté.

Bella baia sulla costa occidentale della Maddalena, protetta a nord. La zona circostante è chiara.
In fondo c'è un pontone.
Omerragio su boe, su fondali rocciose o sabbiose, da 5 m.
Nella parte meridionale c'è un altra cala, poche case e una vecchia cava senza interessi. In precedenza, massi di granito rosa sono stati trasportati via nave in tutto il mondo. I granito di Cala Francese è stato utilizzato per la costruzione della Statua della Libertà.
