Here, it’s the boats that make the scene at this veritable world championship of classic yachting, where Classics, Metrics, Tofinou, Dragons… all come together.
Over 6 days, the red carpet is rolled out to welcome these traditional yachts, true “Lords of the Sea”.
The first suggestion, which won’t cost you anything, is to go and admire the boats on the Vieux-Port de Cannes, sitting on the Plage du Midi, and watch them go out to sea.
The atmosphere along the quays is extraordinary: between waiting for the warning signals, the boats racing off and returning, the spectacle is permanent.
Alternatively, there are a number of companies that organize sailing trips during the Régates Royales, such as Trans Côte d’Azur. Attend the races on the water for a reasonable price ranging from €30 to €47.
Activities and entertainment, especially in the evenings, take over on land, at the Village des Régates Royales de Cannes, set up on Quai Laubeuf.
With opening ceremonies, tug-of-war, concerts and parties, crew parades, prize-giving ceremonies and stalls featuring original products: optics, clothing, handicrafts, jewelry, Tahitian pearls… the party never stops at the Régates Royales de Cannes.
