One month after the event, relive the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026!
Yes, it's already been a month since the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026 concluded its 4-day celebration with crews, entertainment for the public on the port of Toulon and the beaches of Mourillon, and regattas in the Great Roadstead! The National Navy was honoured this year for its 400 years of existence. This edition has showcased both the boats and yachts of our maritime heritage, as well as much more recent metric yachts! The Destinus AI Regatta on Saturday, May 9th, made this 3rd edition even more innovative...
A successful end to this third edition of the Toulon Provence Regatta!
This Sunday, May 10th, saw the final awards ceremony for the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026, co-organised by the Toulon Naval Club and Twelve Med Events, in partnership with the Town Hall of Toulon, the Toulon Provence Méditerranée Metropolis, the Var Department, the Sud Region, and the French Navy. We had the pleasure of welcoming the patron of the 2026 edition, Philippe HARTZ, and Armel Le Cléac’h, skipper of the ULTIM trimaran «Banque Populaire XI» who sailed in Toulon's main harbour with 2 other ULTIMs during these 4 days...
The «Destinus AI Regatta», a world first in Toulon!
If you had visited the former LA PLAGE restaurant at Anse du Lido this morning, you would have felt like you were in a real ant’s nest. There was a buzz of excitement in everyone's minds. For the organisers, particularly Xavier CAUX, it was the culmination of a project launched just over 2 years ago in partnership with the Swarm’z challenge and the company Destinus (an aerial drone manufacturer) which supported the organisation of this event. For all the competing student teams, it was a real challenge to be taken on over the past few days, much like a hackathon. For some, this last night was very, very, very short. Success and failure mark this adventure, which is only a first step towards the objective of developing a «virtual tactician» for the America's Cup…
2nd day of regattas for youngsters and adults!
A regatta always begins with the placement of the course buoys. Although very recent, these buoys do not move by themselves. On the other hand, they maintain their position directly via GPS and associated small electric thrusters, an effort by Toulon Provence Regatta to avoid anchoring and preserve the seabed.
Of course, we mustn't forget the Jury boat. Several teams were mobilised, between those for the 2.4mR sailboat regattas and those for the 12mJI...
A first day of setup and regattas for the sailboats!
Here we go for 4 days of regattas and entertainment! This morning at 10 am, Philippe HARTZ, the patron of the 2026 edition, cut the ribbon and officially opened the Toulon Provence Regatta Partner Village live on BFM TV. The live broadcast had begun a little earlier, giving the floor first to various partner associations (AMERAMI, JEM’VAR), then to representatives of the French Navy, including Lieutenant de Vaisseau ANGLEYS, Commander of the diving support vessel ACACIA, which will be present for the next 3 days and open to public visits to celebrate the «400 years of the French Navy»...
The Toulon Provence Regatta starts tomorrow!

The colours of the Toulon Provence Regatta are on display in the city!
We are less than 4 days away from the start of the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026, our team of volunteers is busy gradually putting up all the information visuals for our event.
Our beautiful official poster, created by Émilie TARIN, a design student at La Grande Tourrache, has been displayed on various MUPIs around the city. Like every year, this poster is the result of a competition held with this school.
