A festival to float your boat

THE Cannes Yachting Festival is expecting once again to welcome more than 50,000 visitors from across the world to view and trial 600 boats on show, taking place from September 11th-16th.

The #Cannes Yachting Festival has been the first to take place in the international yachting calendar since 1977 and therefore leads the season with the highest number of new model launches and innovative designs.

More than 100 boats will make their world premiere at the show positioned at each end of the famous Croisette.  Recognised as one of the most important international boating events and Europe’s largest in-water show, the Cannes Yachting Festival is known for its eclecticism and the wealth of vessels presented in a range of sizes.

LOU CASTEOU, which means ‘The Chateau’ in old Provençal French was purchased in 2006 by Chris and Morag Baxter, who restored it to its former historical glory, adding touches of modern luxury, such as a home cinema seating 40, heated outdoor pool, and commercial kitchen.

The chateau can accommodate 32 guests in luxury, with inside and outside reception areas, for events of up to 100 people. Lou Casteou offers weddings, with blessings at Lou Casteou’s small historic chapel, or within the chateau’s grounds.
