Classic Cars in the South of France

The South of France is one of the most beautiful places in the world to enjoy from behind the wheel of a classic sports car. Go for a drive to Ramatuelle in a Porsche 356 Speedster, cruise down the Port in a Ford Mustang, take on the sharp bends of the Esterel mountains in a Jaguar E-Type or go for a meal at the Club 55 in our Rolls Royce Corniche; Saint-Tropez and the “Peninsula” are a true paradise for car enthusiasts…

Because they also are a piece of history and have witnessed an art of living, these cars have much more to offer than your average modern “luxury” car or “supercar”. As you cruise along, you will most likely encounter friendly looks and thumbs up from people, engage in conversations with other car lovers or even be asked if a picture could be taken behind the wheel. Regardless the situation, you will not leave indifferent!

We can also organize “rallies” for your friends and family with up to 30 classic cars… An infinite “collection” at your fingertips!!!

We are proud to offer you an “ideal collection” ranging from the uncompromising sports cars (Lotus Super Seven, AC Cobra, Ferrari 308 GTS) to the everlasting classics (Porsche 356 Speedster, Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes 190 SL, Austin-Healey, etc.). From the original “fun” cars (2CV, MG TD) to the prestigious saloons (Ford Mustang Convertible).

Whether it be a for a weekend, a holiday, a birthday celebration, a wedding or a day out with friends, all these cars are at your disposal without heavy investment, without the hassle of maintenance, storage or insurance. They are yours without constraints and you can swap between them at your leisure…

Rugby World Cup 2023

The stage is set for the biggest talents in the men’s game….from Friday 8th September to Saturday 28th October 2023

Some key matches are being played in the south of France at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille and in the Stade de Nice. St Tropez is nicely positioned between the two venues and we will be providing limousine and helicopter transfers between the two venues, and from St Tropez.

Nice

Home to Ligue 1 club OGC Nice, Stade de Nice is another RWC 2023 host venue that also staged matches during UEFA Euro 2016 and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019. The stadium hosted its only test to date on 17 August, 2019, when Maxime Médard scored two tries to help France to a 32-3 win over Scotland. RC Toulonnais have also played some Top 14 home matches at the stadium.

Stade de Nice is scheduled to host four matches during RWC 2023, with Wales, England, Japan, Italy and Scotland among the teams that will play on its manicured turf. England’s encounter with Japan on 17 September, 2023, promises to be one not to miss as Eddie Jones comes up against the side he coached at RWC 2015.

Marseille

A historic stadium that has been renovated three times since it opened in 1937, Stade Vélodrome hosted two quarter-finals at RWC 2007. The home of Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille and a host venue during the FIFA World Cup in 1938 and 1998, the stadium staged its first test match on 18 November, 2000, when France beat New Zealand 42-33. Since then Les Bleus have played a further 11 tests at the iconic venue, winning nine and losing twice — against Argentina in 2004 and the All Blacks in 2009.

On 18 April, 2009, RC Toulonnais played their home Top 14 match against Stade Toulousain in front of 57,039 fans and have returned on a handful of occasions since. Four pool matches of RWC 2023 will be hosted there, including England-Argentina and France’s game against the Africa Cup 2022 winners, plus two of the quarter-finals.

Les Voiles de St Tropez

During the first week from September 24 to October 1, 2022, the event welcomes all classic boats, with no size limit, and modern boats, up to 18m28. The usual program remains unchanged with the award ceremony scheduled for Saturday evening, October 1st.

During the week of October 2 to 8, 2022, there will be large modern units and multihulls of the Performance Cruising Multihulls class which benefit from specific routes with all departures in front of the town of Saint-Tropez. The regattas begin on October 4. Prize-giving, Saturday, October 8 evening.

About 250 boats are taking part in the first week and nearly 50 modern “Maxi Yachts” are expected in the second week.

Seven large classic schooners, the first flying Maxi and the return of Pride to Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez!

For more than forty years, the sailing world has turned to the restoration of old yachts. Carried by lovers in love with the indefinable pleasure of reviving the most beautiful witnesses of the golden age of yachting, extraordinary sailboats, adored by the public, have returned to the happiness of beautiful navigation. In the wake of the Nioulargue, the Société Nautique and its teams offer them another privilege: sharing the iconic body of water in the gulf with the most incredible modern and avant-garde yachting units. An additional reason to succumb, at the end of the summer, to the charm of the 24th edition of the Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
