Discovery of the Golden Islands on a heritage sailboat

The meeting point is given at the port of Hyères at 10 am. You will be welcomed on board by Captain Stéphane and the sailor to share coffee and fruit juice while getting a briefing on the safety instructions and the day's program. The Brigantin then sets course for the Pointe des Mèdes in Porquerolles to tour the island, passing by Notre-Dame beach and Langoustier beach. While admiring the wild landscapes, your host's story will take you back in time: from Antiquity to the time of the trade routes that gave birth to the city of Olbia, the arrival of the Cistercians, the successive occupations of the Greeks, Romans, and Barbarians who left their mark and legends on the island... The military past too with the construction of the forts, the Alycastre, Le Langoustier... but also the lighthouse of Cap d'Armes During the navigation, children and adults can participate in maneuvers or learn to tie knots. And then, because while sailing along the coast you will observe the diversity of the landscapes, we will talk about the terrestrial and underwater fauna and flora... birds, posidonia and whales with the Pelagos sanctuary. A rich and preserved nature thanks to the action of the National Park whose different missions and philosophy are explained. To protect the island, which is already saturated in summer, you will not disembark at Porquerolles, but will enjoy a privileged anchorage at noon at Grand Ribaud. This is the time to share an aperitif, which is offered to you, to have a picnic (with or without formula) before jumping into the water under the watchful eye of the sailor, a certified diver, to go for a kayak or paddle ride or to go for a snorkeling tour. And if the conditions are good... back to sailing, rocked by the waves.
