Hoteliers in Cannes, Monaco and Saint Tropez will tell you that September is one of their busiest periods of the year, with available rooms virtually non-existent over much of this jam-packed month. It’s the same story in the Heli Securite control room with a large number of private charter flights being booked during this time of year.
Much of the traffic in September is driven by nautical events held on the French Riviera, the yachting heartland of Europe, from the Monaco Yacht Show beginning on September 23rd to Les Voiles de Saint Tropez at the end of the month.
