Embark on a 1-hour guided tour by hybrid boat to discover a site that is as iconic as it is secluded: Fort de Brégançon, the holiday residence of the Presidents of the French Republic. From the port of Bormes-les-Mimosas – La Favière, set off on a leisurely, eco-friendly exploration aboard a boat that combines combustion and electric propulsion.
Sail through one of the most beautiful bays in the world, between Cap Bénat, hidden coves, and pine forests that stretch down to the sea. From the very first minutes, let our enthusiastic crew guide you, sharing with you (in French) the historical, cultural, and natural treasures that surround this exceptional place. Commentary is also available via our audio guide on your smartphone in English, German, Dutch, and Italian.
Perched on its rocky islet a short distance from the shore, Fort de Brégançon reveals itself from a unique perspective: that of the sea. You will learn how, over the centuries, this ancient lookout post became a military fortress, a strategic site, and then a presidential resort. Without ever docking or entering the fort’s grounds, you’ll enjoy a unique view of the ramparts, the surrounding beaches, and the Îles d’Or (Golden Islands) rising on the horizon.
Beyond the fort, a whole swath of the natural and historical Mediterranean unfolds before you. This short but immersive cruise is perfect for heritage enthusiasts, families looking for an accessible cultural activity, or holidaymakers seeking an authentic experience at sea, away from the summer crowds.
