Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is not your average regatta. Every fall, the gulf transforms into an arena, where traditional sailing yachts cross paths with J-Class boats and modern maxi yachts, and the village comes alive with the rhythm of starts, finishes, and parties that go on until the wee hours of the night. Following this event from a fully private yacht in Saint-Tropez offers a perspective that rivals that of the racing crews.
