travel itinerary
ANTIBES
Antibes, an alluring city and old haunt of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, is the starting point for your sailing holiday in the French Riviera. A walk through the cobbled streets to the morning Marché Provençal that sells fresh vegetables, fruit and flowers is a must do. Also to explore are the Musée Picasso, which has a nice collection of work including pieces that Picasso created while staying in Antibes in 1946 and Grasse, the world’s perfume capital, which has offers opportunities to tour the famous perfumeries.
ILES DE LERINS, ILE SAINTE MARGUERITE & ILE SAINT HONORAT
The Iles de Lérins island group lies Southwest of the coast of Cannes. Ile Saint Marguerite is the largest island and is covered by beautiful pine and eucalyptus forests. Ile Saint Honorat is an extraordinary little island that has been inhabited by monks since the fifth century. Visit the Cisterian Abbey to purchase wines, lavender oils, honey and liquors made by the monks there.
CANNES
Renowned for its annual film festival in May, Cannes is one of the most glamorous towns on the Cote d’Azur. Vieux Port (the old port) is the most picturesque part of town and hosts an impressive flower market worth exploring.
SAINT-RAPHAEL
Sailing west you will reach Saint-Raphael. The main beach extends all the way from Saint-Raphael to Frejus and is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. There are also fantastic scuba diving spots in the area.
SAINT-TROPEZ
Your next stop is Saint-Tropez, where you’ll appreciate the view of warm colored, sun soaked townhouses as you sail into the harbor. St. Tropez is where A-listers go to see and be seen and stars can be spotted on the beaches and in the exclusive nightclubs and restaurants all summer.
PORQUEROLLES
Porquerolles in the Îles d'Hyères offers a refreshing change of scenery. Motor vehicles are banned on this calm island, so it’s necessary to explore by bike or foot. Take time to cycle through the woods and explore the rocky and sandy shores.
TOULON
Toulon is the southernmost point of the French Riviera and a beautiful final stop. Sailing enthusiasts will find the Musée de la Marine of interest, which pays homage to the maritime tradition of the Mediterranean. Drive up the Corniche du Mont-Faron (the road leading up to Mount Faron) during sunset and take in the views before returning to Antibes.
