| Page Views: 523 Last Visit to Cannes: September, 2008 | "RÉGATES ROYALES" AT THE YACHT CLUB OF CANNES. by breughel - last update: Oct 5, 2008 |
One can go to Cannes to see pretty movie stars and starlets or to see a beautiful coast under a mild climate. I went there to see the classic and tradition sailing yachts participating to the "Royal Régates" of Cannes at the end of September.
On peut visiter Cannes pour la beauté de son paysage et la douceur de son climat ou pour le côté "bling bling" de son festival du cinéma et tout ce qui tourne autour.
J'eus la chance en cette fin de septembre d'assister aux Régates Royales groupant des voiliers classiques et de tradition, environ 150 en tout. C'était un spectacle bien supérieur aux stars montant un escalier. |
|  | LES VOILIERS ANCIENS - TRADITION YACHTS. Wonderful sailing boats often build in the first half of the 20th c and all moored in the Vieux Port of Cannes. They were about 150 of different classes.
Quelle merveille ces voiliers, quelle finesse de formes, quel amour et perfection dans l'accastillage et l'entretien de ces voiliers souvent construits au début du 20e siècle. |
| | THE MOTOR YACHTS OF THE BILLIONAIRES. The contrast with the big motor yachts at the quay next to the Palais des Festivals is striking: the elegance, the slenderness of the classic sailing boats and the clumsy lines of the floating "m'as tu vu" palaces of the billionaires.
Quel contraste avec les lourds yachts "m'as-tu vu" des milliardaires amarrés près du Palais des Festivals.
A Cannes il y en a pour tous les goûts, du meilleur au pire! |

Probably there is a special spirit in Cannes called pride of community and that is why it is so clean and well cared for. Very enjoyable page. The seafood platter looks so delicious. | Jefie Wed Oct 15, 2008 14:46 UTC
Une très belle page sur Cannes, et que de beaux voiliers!! Vous avez raison, c'est beaucoup plus intéressant que de voir des stars sur un tapis rouge :o) | Nemorino Thu Oct 9, 2008 21:18 UTC
The seafood at “Chez Astoux” sounds fantastic! Glad to hear Cannes is so clean and safe. | ranger49 Mon Oct 6, 2008 14:26 UTC
That Marine Mamoth sounds wonderful! My problem would be trying to stop more of it ending up on my outside than in my inside - I don't think we handle these dishes too well.... |
