One of the most decadent holidays you could ever experience in a lifetime is certainly to charter a yacht. France is an extremely popular destination, with its beautiful beaches, promise of exotic romance, and the chance to experience a culture as rich and diverse as any on earth. Yachts are generally perceived to be a luxury only available to the rich and famous, but the experience need not be restricted to the upper classes. Chartering a yacht is the easiest way to taste a dream. The yacht comes with a crew whose only duty is to ensure that your trip is as relaxing and satisfying as you desire. They are employed to sail you safely, provide wonderful meals, and pamper you to your heart's desire.The French Riviera offer just the right blend of hedonism and sophistication that make them such popular destinations. Haute cuisine in a castle on the cliffs of Eze or wild champagne parties at the beach in St. Tropez, take your pick or choose both!
When the sun goes down return to the yacht for cocktails and hors d' oveurs before carrying on until daybreak at one of the great night spots ashore. For the less wild, have a walk down the cobbled streets of Antibes, rub elbows with celebrities at the Film Festival in Cannes, marvel at the Grand Prix in Monaco or visit the famous casino here

Anchor off St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to take in the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild perched between the port and the mainland.
