From the port of Antibes, we set sail westward after hoisting the sails. We leave Cannes and the Lérins Islands to starboard and admire the majestic red cliffs of the Esterel mountains.
After a lunch stop at Île d’Or, we sail upwind off Saint-Tropez and its world-famous Pampelonne Beach, then catch sight of the quiet and unspoiled Île du Levant. By late afternoon, we anchor in the beautiful bay of Port-Man on the island of Port-Cros, a protected natural reserve with crystal-clear waters, where we will spend the night.
The next morning, we head to the island of Porquerolles, where turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and a charming Provençal village await.
On the way back, we set course for the stunning Cap Taillat, in the heart of the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Linked to the mainland by a sandy isthmus lined with pine trees, this little paradise is one of the jewels of the region.
Finally, carried gently by the mistral, we make our way back to our home port in Antibes.
