“Pointus”, “catalanes”, “felouques”, “barquettes”, “tartanons” and “gozzi” make for a really colourful fleet of boats in this French event on the international circuit. Regattas offering a sight for sore eyes and featuring some really great models. The event is enlivened by the “Rencontres du Patrimoine Maritime Méditerranéen” (at the Renaissance cinema), the Village of Carpenters, Sailors and Craftsmen of the Sea (in the marquee), the Mediterranean Book Fair and an exhibition entitled “Voiles Latines… Retour aux Sources” (on the Place des Lices). Once again, these few days will allow the port to unfurl all the magic of yesteryear and enable visitors to discover an extremely lively culture based on sailing the Med. from May 11th to 14th.
