This year, the Régates de Nice – Villefranche-sur-Mer – Trophée Pasqui will take place from September 15 to 20, 2015. This year, 32 traditional sailboats are expected in Villefranche-sur-Mer and 3 in the port of Nice.
The annual meeting of exceptional and legendary vintage sailing ships
This prestigious event is organized by the Trophée Pasqui association, in partnership with the Department of Alpes-Maritimes, the town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The 2015 edition, like last year, will offer parades and challenges that will allow the general public to enjoy the magnificent spectacle offered by the traditional sailboats and their crews, along the Azurean coast, from Nice to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, passing through Villefranche-sur-Mer.
The public will be able to follow them from the coast, or on board the vessels chartered by the Department, allowing more than 850 people to admire the sailboats during the challenges on September 19. The partner village, set up at Place Amélie Pollonais in Villefranche, will offer exhibitions and activities throughout the 5 days.
A nautical spectacle that has become the prestigious summer sporting event on the Azurean coast
The Trophée Pasqui in Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Régates de Nice, two leading events allowing a reconnecting with the maritime past of our department, merged in 2013 to create a doubly exceptional event.
The now named Régates de Nice – Villefranche-sur-Mer – Trophée Pasqui has since last year gathered the world’s most beautiful sailboats in a sumptuous setting, allowing amateurs and professionals to indulge in their passion and contemplate splendid sailboats that have sailed through seas and eras, thanks to a program combining activities, meetings, and discovery.
