A Year in Paradise: Sailing French Polynesia with Four Kids<\/h1>\n

Imagine leaving everyday life behind and setting sail into one of the most beautiful corners of the planet\u2014with your entire family.
\nThat\u2019s exactly what Anne-Victoire and her husband did when they set off from Bordeaux in their 11-metre catamaran with their four children, aged 3, 5, 9 and 11.
