Les Voiles de St Tropez – Gallery photos by Gaston Westphal

The curtain closes on an absolutely spellbinding Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2022!

What a cracking fortnight! Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez has simply lit up the gulf in France’s Var region and with it the whole of the yachting planet. Sailing in all its competitive, aesthetic or historic guises, has sparkled in all its glory against the stunning backdrop of Saint Tropez, enabling sailors and onlookers a dreamlike moment of escapism.

The beautiful summer of sails rounded off in early October, leaving all its participants in a slight daze amidst all the splendour, friendship and passion brought to the fore by this wonderful event and the beautiful boats, which win the hearts and souls of both the crews and the passers-by.

See you again in 2023, from 30 September to 14 October.
