French Riviera

From Antibes to Monaco in a single golden afternoon.

The French Riviera remains the spiritual home of yachting. A week here moves between legendary ports — Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Monaco — with swimming stops at Cap d'Antibes, the LГ©rins Islands and Pampelonne Beach. Distances are short, the berthing infrastructure is the best in the world, and the people-watching from your aft deck is unmatched.
