Celebrities, movie stars and royalty have always mixed easliy in the French Rivera.  Princess Grace, of course, was the quintessential story of a movie star marrying into royalty, but there is always an abundance of star power in the French Riviera. The beauty, climate, and hot spots such as St Tropez, Monaco and Cannes, make the Riviera a natural place for the "A-listers" to convene year round and especially during the summer months.

Some of the key names you'll find in the French Rivera are:

Rock Stars - Elton John (Nice), Bono (Eze-sur-Mer), The Edge, Tina Turner (Villefranche), Keith Richards (Villefranche), Julian Lennon (Eze-sur-Mer)

F1 Drivers - Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Alex Wurz, David Coulthard, Felipe Massa, Giancarl Fisichella (all in Monaco, of course).

Movie Stars - Brad Pit, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp (Plan de la Tour), Vanessa Paradis (Plan de la Tour), Sean Connery (Nice)

Industry Moguls - Bill Gates (St Jean Cap Ferrat), Paul Allen (St Jean Cap Ferrat), Roman Abromovich (Cap d'Antibes)

Day charters to see the Star's Villas

You can easily see many of the stars houses in charter from Cannes to Monaco - two possible itineraries are drawn above.  It's too much to everything from Monaco to St Tropez in one day, we recommend two trips starting from Cannes, one north to Cap Ferrat and Monaco and one south to St Tropez.  Our captains will point out the villas and hot spots, and you may even bump into a celebrity at lunch!  See our French Riviera Charter Yachts or simply contact us and we'll recommend the best yacht and knowledgeable captain for you.
