Note to diary: organise helicopter from Cannes to Monaco for the 21st Monaco Yacht Show
Arguably the most luxurious and lucrative event on the global yachting calendar – The Monaco Yacht Show – is set to take centre stage next month when it opens at the end of September. The 21st Monaco Yacht Show will take place between September 21st and 24th in Port Hercules, which is just 20 minutes by helicopter from Cannes.
The world-famous resort of Cannes is one of the most visited towns along the French Riviera, and it’s perfectly easy to see why.
The cosmopolitan town, which comes to a halt for a fortnight every May when the Cannes Film Festival is held in its majestic Palais des Festivals, oozes sophistication and charm in the way that only a French station balnéaire can.
Just 15 minutes by helicopter from Nice to Cannes, it boasts some of the country’s finest hotels, boutiques and restaurants, as well as some first-class private beaches which sit just below the famous La Croisette, the wide avenue which runs along the seafront.
