THE CONCOURS D’ÉLÉGANCE
An ultra-glamorous moment of the Cannes Yachting Festival, the fourth edition of the Concours d’Elégance will be held on Saturday 15 September at 4 pm. This event, with simple and free registration, is open to owners and collectors of motorboats and day boats of less than 12 metres in length.
The Concours d’Elégance will take place in the bay of Cannes, in the historic setting of the Vieux Port, near the main entrance at the festival beach. It is an opportunity for visitors of the show to admire from the beach a nautical parade of vintage (before 1980) and modern (after 1980) day boats as well as their elegant crews, and to pay tribute to the rich history of yachting in the heart of the Riviera.
All visitors of the Cannes Yachting Festival are invited to attend the parade from the beach of the Festival that is open to everyone. A terrace located on the beach will be reserved for VIP spectators during the Concours d’Elégance to ensure them an unbeatable view of the parade and provide them with privileged services.
