They can still be blockaded, GB has bases in gibraltar and malta so they can basicly reach anywhere on the map. imo the primare consequense of setting up the french fleet in meditarranean is that england is less pressured, there is no imminent threat for an invasion. Its probably still adviceable for GB to blockade the french fleet but he now has an option to use his fleets for other things if he wants (sweden denmark and portugal is good prices for GB - a few more fleets is a great help for GB, and more important, deny them to anyone else. With these fleets spain russia or france potentially matches GB on the sea - GB can usually get some of them anyway, but probably not all of them, at least not without upsetting Russia or Spain or both). If GB ignores you, France can get Neapels but if France really wants Neapels there is usually no-one who can stop him from taking it by land anyway. Another option would be to go for north africa but there is plenty of neutrals to conquer in europe and going for africa will most certainly upset Spain and Turkey. France dont have many potential friends and even if France is the single strongest power in the game not even Napoleon can afford to be at war with everyone at the same time.
