Cote d'Azur travel 2021

DAY 1

Saturday. Antibes.

Antibes was the very first city built by the Greeks on the Cote d'Azur. We will also begin our wanderings from him.

Collection at the marina at 15-00. Food purchase. Acceptance of yachts. Registration of documents. Accommodation of crews. Brief safety briefing. And only after that the exit to the city.

Ironically, this ancient city has now become the youngest city in the Riviera, which is very useful for us. After all, those who arrive early will have the opportunity to enjoy its ancient architecture, and in the evening we will enjoy its "nightlife" with the whole flotilla.

Day 2

Sunday. Crossing Antibes - Monaco - 15 miles.

Immediately on the very first sailing out to sea, we leave the waters of France and set sail for the Principality of Monaco. And we are going to the very pretentious marina with expensive and stunningly beautiful yachts that you could watch the Formula 1 racing championship. Instead of the national flag of Monaco, you can safely hang out a golden LUXURY plaque, because this is a state of exclusively high society interests: expensive cars, yachts, casinos. In which we must definitely go to make a couple of bets, as well as see the Prince's Palace, stroll through the enchanting gardens and cozy streets, and be sure to visit the best restaurants on the Cote d'Azur.

Undoubtedly, this toy state in its size is one of the most famous and beautiful in the world, and how could it be otherwise. If you have not been here, then once you find yourself, I think you will agree with us.

DAY 3

Monday. Crossing Monaco - Sanremo - 20 miles

And again we make the transition from one country to another, no, we are not returning to France, but heading to Italy. Sanremo is one of the most respectable and sedate resorts in Liguria. People come here not for parties, but for a calm and measured rest on the beaches and in the SPA. The Russian aristocracy left a big imprint on the city, for example, the main Imperatrice Embankment, which you should definitely walk along, is named after the wife of Alexander II, Maria Alexandrovna.

DAY 4

Tuesday. Crossing San Remo - Nice - 25 miles

It's time to return to France, and we go to one of the famous cities of the Côte d'Azur in Nice, a city between the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the Alps, located in the "Bay of Angels" (Bayeux-des-Ange). Once Nice was a major maritime and commercial center and gained its tourist fame at the beginning of the 19th century. The city will surely please you with its coziness and resort rhythm of life, stunning architecture, the Promenade des Anglais and the atmosphere of the Old Town.

Day 5

Wednesday. Crossing Nice - Cannes - 25 miles

Cannes, the town located in the Bay of Naples, is certainly associated with the Cannes Film Festival. And this is without a doubt so, the heart of the film festival, the Palais des Festivals is located on the most important street of the city - the iconic Croisette, which is definitely worth a stroll along. But it's worth coming here, just after all the bustle of the cinema in May, so that you can enjoy just its real atmosphere, stroll through the Old Town of Le Suquet, wander the winding streets and go to the Liberty Avenue, look at the antiques of junk dealers, continue your way to the bustling market in quarter Forville and lie for a few hours on one of the beaches.

DAY 6

Thursday. Cannes - Saint-Tropez - 25 miles

Saint-Tropez, a town known among yachtsmen primarily for one of the most "major" sailing regattas in the world, the Giraglia Rolex Cup, is one of the yacht capitals of the Mediterranean. This sunny seaside town has rightfully earned itself the title of a fashionable "star" resort. Once a secluded provincial town, the town gained fame of endless youth and fun, a city of show business stars and yachtsmen, in the heart of which there is a cobbled promenade with many cafes, always full of passers-by, enjoying sunbathing and views of parked yachts, and turning into a fashion catwalk in the evening ...

DAY 7

Friday. Crossing Saint-Tropez - Antibes - 30 miles

And now we are returning to Antibes, our first week of travel is coming to an end. From the marina, you can go sightseeing, contemplate the once impregnable Fort Carré, take a photo against the backdrop of the Garoupe lighthouse or go to the longest beach of La Salis to relax after a week of yachting, and in the evening go to one of the cozy restaurants with first-class seafood. And of course, mark the travel equator in one of Antibes' nightclubs or bars.

DAY 8

Saturday. Antibes

Unfortunately, the time has come to part with those who went on a trip only for the first week, and to meet new participants in the trip. Collection of new arrivals in the Marina of Antibes at approximately 15-00.

For those who went on a trip for two weeks, Saturday is a free day, and the whole city is at your disposal. You can soak up one of the city's beaches, or continue your sightseeing, but we recommend visiting the Marineland Marine Park, which combines a water park and a dolphinarium.

DAY 9

Sunday. Crossing Antibes - Toulon - 25 miles

Toulon is primarily the largest commercial port and military harbor in France, so the city has a slightly different atmosphere from tourist resorts, which absorbs many cultures of different peoples. The city has a lot of greenery, the Alexander I garden deserves special attention. Also in the city we would like to highlight the Toulon Cathedral and the Royal Tower with the Maritime Museum.

DAY 10

Monday. Crossing Toulon - Marseille - 40 miles

Marseille is the second largest city in France, the largest commercial port, and an industrial center. Of course, there are many attractions in Marseille - these are two fortresses in the harbor of Saint-Jean and Saint-Nicolas, the Old Port and the Old Town, a huge number of all kinds of cathedrals and churches. But we would like to draw your attention to the many clubs with live music and music venues, where we can add some good music and great energy to our hiking trips.

DAY 11

Tuesday. Marseille (island hopping) - 10-20 miles

On this day, we will go for a short walk along the islands nearby from Marseille. The main pearl of this trip will be the Isle of If, known from the books of Alexandre Dumas, with the castle of the same name located on it. On the island, you can book a guided tour of the castle, and then dine in a cafe with a stunning view of Marseille.

DAY 12

Wednesday. Crossing Marseille - Hyères - 50 miles

Hyères is one of the oldest resorts on the French Riviera. Historical figures such as Napoleon and Queen Victoria used to promenade along the main street of Gambetta Avenue. I call Hyères the city of eternal summer, and you should definitely stroll through its gardens and parks, see the local architecture, several ancient churches and dine after a busy day in one of the restaurants in the old city.

DAY 13

Thursday. Hyeres - Port Grimaud - 30 miles

Port Grimaud is somewhat reminiscent of miniature Venice, the town is cut by canals, and local residents keep boats and boats instead of cars near the house. In addition to this feature, the city is famous for its medieval castle and stone fountain in the central square.

DAY 14

Friday. Saint-Tropez - Antibes - 20 miles

Return to Antibes. Delivery of boats around 17-00. After that, the final party in one of the bars on the waterfront, followed by a continuation on the yachts.

DAY 15

In the morning the crews leave the yachts.
