French Escale

All our journeys French Riviera · 5 days

The Riviera, at the pace of the sea

One base above the Mediterranean, and the same question every morning: the island, the cove or the harbour?

A small Riviera harbour at golden hour, wooden boats and coloured facades.

This journey is for those who want the Mediterranean without the moving around. You unpack once, in a villa or a suite facing the sea, and the yacht comes to you. Each day is decided over breakfast, depending on the wind and the mood.

Porquerolles and Port-Cros for clear water, Saint-Tropez for lunch and the late afternoon, a hilltop village for dinner. In between, nothing planned: a pool, a nap, a book. We handle the logistics; you keep the time.

The moments that make it

  1. The villa above the water

    A house or suite chosen for the view and the quiet, with discreet service: breakfast served, rooms made up while you are at sea.

  2. The yacht by the day

    A crewed boat waiting at the jetty. Anchor off Porquerolles, lunch on board, swim in the protected waters of Port-Cros.

  3. Saint-Tropez without the crowds

    Arrival by sea, a table at a private beach, late afternoon in the lanes just as the day visitors leave.

  4. Dinners up in the hills

    A village inland, a terrace at sunset, market cooking. A driver for the way back, naturally.

The journey at a glance

  1. Day 1

    Arrival by the water

    Welcome at Nice or Toulon, transfer to the villa. A free afternoon, dinner served on the terrace facing the sea.

    Porquerolles

    Morning embarkation, crossing to the island, anchoring at Notre-Dame or Plage d'Argent depending on the wind. Lunch on board, back at sunset.

  3. Day 3

    The quiet day

    No programme: pool, spa or massage at the villa. In the evening, dinner in a hilltop village inland.

  4. Day 4

    Port-Cros and Saint-Tropez

    A morning swim in the Port-Cros national park, then on to Saint-Tropez: private beach and a late afternoon in town.

  5. Day 5

    One last swim

    A cove early in the morning, a final lunch, transfer to the airport — or a few more days, if the sea keeps you.
