- the beach is very near the marquee. Enjoy the sun and a swim whilst watching the races from distance.
- the Aquarium: one of the best aquarium in France. Definitely worth a visit.
- the old town: it can be reached by water bus, directly from the marquee. Also ideal by bike. Visit the old harbor and towers, the tempting old shops … or just sit for a drink on a terrace.
- take a boat tour to Fort-Boyard or the islands.
- Races are scheduled to start at 14.00. So you can all enjoy the morning together
