Les Voiles d’Antibes venue & music changes<\/h2>\n

Les Voiles d’Antibes is returning home to Bastion Saint-Jaume at Port Vauban, Antibes this year due to other events being held at the Esplanade. This will allow for a more intimate celebration of its 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n

A new village concept – with a limit of 2,500 people at a time – will ensure a more comfortable, intimate and better quality experience for visitors at a historic site, says Voiles d’Antibes President Thierry Piel. The usual rock energy is also being replaced by the sun-soaked sounds of RnB, soul, pop and funk.<\/p>\n

“We encourage the public to arrive as early as possible in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset and the food options,” says the president.<\/p>\n

The village is divided into:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Chill-out Lounge: A relaxing space at the top, near the famous Nomad art installation, with sofas where you can look out at the yachts.
\n\u2022 The Guinguette: Large shared tables recreating the warm atmosphere of traditional French festivities.
\n\u2022 The Food Court: A selection of food trucks serving local specialities and international cuisine.<\/p>\n
