REASONS TO VISIT

WHY WE LOVE THE FRENCH RIVIERA

Lush green grapevines fill the foreground, with a blurred forest and rolling hills in the background under a bright sky.

Rosé

Half the vineyards in the sun-kissed South of France are dedicated to the pink drink. Rosé comes in all shades. Blush grey. Salmon. Deep ruby. The best bottles are domestic. Top beach bars like Loulou in St Tropez covet them, just for you to come enjoy.

Lush green ivy covers the facade of a building with light blue shutters and windows, while a blurred foreground reveals foliage and a decorative railing.

Adventure

So inventive is this coastline, that each new sailing voyage to the French Riviera is a fresh adventure. Cycle the Tour de France route with a racing champ. Take a chopper to a rural Provence restaurant. Meet monks who make wine on a private island.

A grand villa with manicured gardens sits nestled amongst lush greenery in the foreground, overlooking a sparkling blue bay dotted with sailboats and a coastal town nestled against dramatic cliffs in the background.

French Riviera Adventure

Sunshine sprinkles stardust on every activity. Would you rather play poker alfresco by the lapping Mediterranean or inside a dark casino? Or touch contemporary art sculptures on a National Park island on Porquerolles, instead of shuffling around a museum? We thought so. That’s why Y.CO has planned the ultimate French Riviera adventure for you.

Your Guide to the French Riviera

Complete Privacy

Everybody wants a piece of paradise but, only a private yacht can anchor off tiny islets where there isn’t a hotel for miles. Or reach incredible dive sites at dawn or dusk. Or escape the crowds to reveal cetacean migrations and piratical stretches of sand. Some establishments are literally boat-only. Including island restaurants and secret beach clubs only known to sailors.

Escapades on Land

A Y.CO Charter Specialist is even more essential on land. Explore the clifftop village of Roquebrune. Hire the same set of wheels as James Bond in Goldeneye. Then watch your kids jump off the cliff via a tandem parascend. Or sail west to Plage Pampelonne. One call from your captain will net the best sand-in-the-toes table in town, as your private yacht glistens in the bay.

In short, the French Riviera has adventures to suit every type of person. t’s time to dive in.
