Some local information to give you some background on St Tropez and San Remo – the backdrop for the Rolex Giraglia Cup
St Tropez
Trendy, chic and celeb heaven – there aren’t many more glamorous locations in the Med for a yacht race. With the scenic sunset-hued pink, orange and deep red townhouses framing the port. And the hustle bustle of the ever increasing summer population you can chose to throw yourself into the vibrant night life after sailing or relax on board and soak up the electric atmosphere.
Away from the glorious sandy beaches and the yacht-filled marinas, Saint Tropez also features some historic cobbled streets, endless cafes and gift shops, with its main tourist information outlet being located on the bustling Quai Jean Jaurès.
San Remo
Basking on the Riviera dei Fiori – the ‘City of Flowers’.
San Remo (locally spelt Sanremo) flourished in the 19th century as a resort for Europe’s high society
The town swarms with holidaymakers and scooters scooters
The ancient heart of San Remo, La Pigna (meaning ‘Pine Cone’), is a tight cluster of streets just north of Corso Matteotti, San Remo’s main strip.
