Tribute Dans le sillage de Paul Signac

TRIBUTE This year, the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez with the complicity of the City of Saint-Tropez and the Musée de l'Annonciade pays tribute to Paul Signac, who contributed to the international reputation of the village.

The artist at the origin of the pointillist movement made the landscapes of the town his muse through several world-famous paintings. Formerly President of the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez between 1908 and 1911, his love of sailing can be felt in many of his works.

The clubs and towns of each stopover will welcome the participants, also celebrating the painter's passage through these places:
Société Nautique de Sète, Société Nautique de Marseille, Société Nautique de Toulon and Port Cros.
