Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez: nautical elegance on the water
A prestigious encounter between exceptional boats and a passion for the sea
A legendary gathering of the world’s most beautiful boats, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez delights sailing enthusiasts, photographers, regatta fans, and curious onlookers alike every year. Between late September and early October, the seaside resort transforms into the sailing capital, welcoming both modern yachts and classic sailboats in a spectacular setting. Enjoy your stay at our campsite in Fréjus to discover Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
An event between tradition and innovation
When yesterday’s and today’s sailboats compete with flair
Founded in 1999, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez brings together more than 300 boats from around the world each year. The charm lies in the diversity of the vessels on display: ultra-modern racing yachts, beautifully restored century-old sailboats, and even legendary ships with impressive track records.
The races are organized into several classes, based on the size and age of the boats. Every day, the regattas take place in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, offering a colorful nautical ballet visible from the beaches, the quays, or the hills above town. It’s a free spectacle, open to all, and always photogenic.
Over the years, the event has managed to preserve its authenticity while embracing cutting-edge sailing technology, drawing the best professional and amateur crews alike. The diversity of participants, the warm atmosphere on the water, and the high caliber of competition have made Les Voiles a world reference in prestige sailing.
A unique atmosphere in the harbor and in town
Colorful sails, drinks on the docks, and Tropezian evenings
Beyond the races, the atmosphere of Les Voiles is part of what makes the event so charming. The port of Saint-Tropez fills with masts, varnished hulls, flapping flags, and elegant crews. The terraces, docks, and narrow streets come alive with drinks, encounters, and evening events hosted by boat owners or sailing clubs.
It’s also a wonderful opportunity to stroll through the old village, visit exhibitions dedicated to the maritime world, or head out on the water for a closer look at the sailboats. All set against a chic, relaxed, and thoroughly festive atmosphere.
Plenty of entertainment is also on offer along the quays: concerts, brass bands, crew parades, and official award ceremonies. The crowd, often made up of loyal visitors who return year after year, shares in this maritime enthusiasm in a friendly atmosphere where the sea and the celebration come together in perfect harmony.
A spectacle to experience at the end of the season
Enjoy the mild late-season weather to discover Saint-Tropez in a different light
Less crowded than in peak summer, Saint-Tropez takes on a more authentic atmosphere during this period, perfect for those who love discovering new places without the summer crowds. Attending Les Voiles lets you experience the town differently, blending Mediterranean lifestyle, a passion for sailing, and local traditions.
Easily accessible from the Var by car or by boat, the event is well worth the trip.
The mild weather, bright landscapes, and colors of the Mediterranean autumn make the experience even more spectacular. Whether you’re a sailing enthusiast or simply curious, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez offer a unique chance to combine culture, nature, and a grand maritime spectacle.
