OUR TOUR DE FRANCE - EXPERIENCE THE CÔTE D'AZUR
DAY 1 FROM CANNES TO PORQUEROLLES
Welcome to France’s city of the rich and beautiful: Cannes. The surely most famous port city on the French Riviera enjoys global fame. As the home of the International Film Festival, Cannes captivates with its unique glamorous flair. The marina is considered one of the largest and most exclusive in the Mediterranean and is therefore the ideal starting point for your cruise along the scenically unique French Riviera. On the way to Porquerolles this natural beauty will reveal itself to you.
DAY 2 FROM PORQUEROLLES TO SAINT-TROPEZ
A surprisingly comfortable marina welcomes you in Porquerolles, on one of the îles d’Hyéres. The archipelago near Toulon is also known as the “Gold Islands” in honour of its golden cliffs. Fantastic bathing bays, untouched landscapes and a romantic village life around the harbour characterize the island of Porquerolles. After a relaxing night, the journey continues to the next highlight of the France cruise: Saint-Tropez. As meeting spot of the high society, the cosy harbour town has long become famous. Along the coastal road, the hidden VIP villas shine through the dense pine groves. Live up to the celebrities and enjoy the French way of life on the paradisiacal city beaches of St. Tropez. At Port Grimaud – also called the Venice of the Côte d’Azur – you will experience a service of a special kind.
DAY 3 FROM SAINT-TROPEZ TO ANTIBES
Start the third day with a typical French breakfast on deck. Today will be a true journey through time. Just as you enter the port of Antibes, the Port Vauber, you will feel the historic ambience of the coastal town. The imposing fortification wall surrounding Antibes’ old town is considered a perfect photo motif. Immerse yourself in another world and feel the casual spirit of life in one of the quaint street cafés or relax at the Plage du Ponteil. Taste the culinary diversity of the Mediterranean with a dinner at the famous Poissonnerie Albert 1er.
DAY 4 FROM ANTIBES TO NICE
On the fourth day, Nice awaits you with architectural richness and baroque charm. With its museums and flower gardens, its historic alleys and typical cuisine, Nice is considered the cultural capital of the French Riviera. The paintings of the street artists as well as the entire cityscape are picturesque. As you would expect from an international city of artists, Nice has a colourful blend of boutiques and clothing stores for fashion enthusiasts.
DAY 5 FROM NICE TO MONACO
The fifth day takes you to the Las Vegas of Europe: the Principality of Monaco. The tiny free state on the Mediterranean is well-known for its glamorous lifestyle and the magnificent Grand Prix de Monaco. Spend the evening in style at the Casino of Monte Carlo, where international celebrities come and go. The exceptionally luxurious marina of Monaco offers a unique backdrop. Stroll along the harbour promenade and enjoy your time out on the Côte d’Azur with all your senses.
DAY 6 FROM MONACO TO VILLEFRANCHE-SUR-MER
The paradisiacal city beach in Villefranche-Sur-Mer entices with turquoise blue water and light sand. Moor your yacht in the sheltered bay or enjoy the courteous service in the harbour. Freshly tanned, you can enjoy a typical French aperitif in the romantic old town under the pleasant evening sun. Those who want to marvel at nature can take a hike to the Fort du Mont Alban. This view will never be forgotten.
DAY 7 FROM VILLEFRANCHE-SUR-MER TO CANNES
Enjoy on the last day of your luxury cruise once again in the vastness of the sea before you enter the port of Cannes. Let your cruise end in a French style. A variety of culinary specialities of the country can be enjoyed in the old town. The extensive promenade of Cannes likewise offers a number of fantastic restaurants.
