Between land and sea Cannes
Nautical Rally towards the Lerins Islands
Cannes, the world’s capital of cinema. Often defined by the Croisette, the palm trees, the sun and the Suquet. But did you know that just a few kilometres away, situated in the heart of the bay of Cannes, the most beautiful islands of the French Riviera lay to be discovered? Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat islands form the Lerins Islands, jewels of the French Riviera.
This rally on land and at sea will allow you to discover this little bit of paradise and its hidden wonders along the coast, in the fort of Sainte-Marguerite or at the heart of the of the Monk’s island Saint-Honorat.
The suggested program is adapted according to your schedule, needs, and wants (on a basis of a full day rally activity).

Part of the group will is disembarked on Saint Marguerite island for the challenges on land, whilst the other half stay on-board to begin the challenges at sea.
At Sea: The nautical rally is a unique experience personalised according to your preferences; subjects from your conference, a movie or TV series. Various challenges are at your disposal (non-exhaustive list):
Challenge n°1: Nautical rally quiz: Each team will be given a list of questions to answer about the region and marine life. These questions can be personalised according to the theme of your company.
Challenge n°2: Photo hunting or photo treasure hunt: Each team will need to get their thinking hats on, have a good sense of direction and be logical in order to place on a map, situated in the sea book, the different locations represented in a series of photos. These sites are generally a point of interest such as a beautiful villa on the beachfront, a small hidden cave in an inlet or the pontoon of a renown private beach.
Challenge n°3: The list challenge: Each team will be given a list of objects to collect throughout the adventure on the water. These objects will be able to be found on the water, underwater or even on land when halting in small ports situated in the defined playfield.
Challenge n°4: Digital challenge: With the use of their smartphone, the teams will need to stage a series of photos based on pre-defined themes decided before the event.
Each team will send their photos to a specific email address.
On land, we will organize and put in place three challenges in confrontation where the teams will compete against each other 2 by 2. The possibilities for these challenges are endless: obstacle course, creation of a police sketch, confection of a catapult, etc… (list of games on request). Each team will be given a planning of rotations to respect in order to compete against another team. (NB: all the teams will not compete against one another).
