The sun sets along the coast and a golden light glows across the French Riviera creating an ambiance for which artists have flocked to the area for decades to try to capture. From San Tropez to Monte Carlo, the French Riviera, or Cote d’Azur glows in the evening with the sun slipping away into the full drama of night, only to rise again the next day with a bright clear sunlight unique to this coast. For this and other reasons people have come to this coastline to relax and vacation for decades. You can sample the highlights of this area during a crewed yacht charter of the French Riviera.
Dine on the top deck of your yacht tied stern to in Monte Carlo and then it is off to the Casino in Black Tie to enjoy the nightlife. Refresh during the day with a swim in the bay of the fishing village of Villefranche. And perhaps head ashore by the ship’s tender to the private dock at the Eden Roc Restaurant on Cap d’ Antibes for lunch.
Shop at the chic boutiques in the many little streets surrounding the main harbor of San Tropez. Anchor off of Pampelonne Beach and head into the chic Club 55 for a drink. The d’ Hyeres Islands are a great stop for a day to enjoy swimming, water sports, and perhaps bicycling or hiking. Explore the market filled with Herbs de Provence in the old city of Antibes, and tour the area of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes. Head up in the hills to the medieval walking city of Eze perched high above the coastline for an outstanding view of it all.
