Les Voiles – literally „The Winds“ – take place from April to October across the French riviera.  Each race brings together some of the most beautiful traditional wooden yachts alongside the most extraordinary modern sailing boats for a week long regatta in beautiful ports such as Antibes and Saint-Tropez.

Nestled between Cannes and Marseille the picturesque medieval port of Saint-Tropez would be stunning even without the boats.  When you add some of the worlds finest vintage and classic yachts it becomes a feast of varnish and brass……..
