What changes in the village during Les Voiles

Over the nine days of the regatta, Saint-Tropez hosts around 250 boats and a flow of visitors comparable to August — but concentrated on the port and the quays. Parking becomes the first problem: the central car parks fill by mid-morning, and the area around the port is largely closed to traffic. In practice, arriving in your own car often means parking far away and finishing on foot. This is exactly the week where a driver who drops you as close as possible and leaves changes the day.

Getting around during the regatta

We work two ways during Les Voiles. A straightforward transfer, to reach the port from your villa or hotel, with a drop-off point agreed in advance according to that day's closures. And the chauffeur at disposal, by the day or the week, which is the most requested option in this period: the vehicle and driver stay nearby, so you can chain the port, lunch in Ramatuelle and an evening back in the village without ever looking for a space. Crews staying outside the Golfe — in Sainte-Maxime, Cogolin or Cavalaire — mostly use morning and evening rotations.

Getting to Saint-Tropez for Les Voiles

In late September all three airports are still well served. La Môle - Saint-Tropez (17 km, 25 minutes) is the closest for business aviation. Toulon-Hyères is an hour away, Nice 1h30 outside peak times. Book your transfer well ahead for this period: demand for vehicles is high, and the closing weekend slots go several weeks in advance.

Frequently asked questions

When are Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026?

From 26 September to 4 October 2026, on the port of Saint-Tropez and across the gulf. The regatta gathers around 250 boats, from classic yachts to modern sailing boats.

Can you reach the port by car during the regatta?

Access is heavily restricted and changes day by day with the programme. We follow the traffic orders and agree a workable drop-off point on the day, as close to your destination as possible.

Should we book far in advance?

Yes, especially for the closing weekend. Availability of chauffeur-driven vehicles tightens sharply across the whole Golfe in this period: a few weeks ahead is recommended.
