The Voiles de Saint-Tropez sails away, and then the Porsches come. Every second weekend of October, without fail, since 1993. From 9 to 11 October 2026, the Nouveau Port hosts a new edition of Paradis Porsche, one of the largest gatherings in Europe dedicated to the Stuttgart marque.
The numbers: over 500 cars inside the park, and then a good many more parked just outside by owners who couldn't get a spot but weren't about to miss it either. Classic 911s alongside the latest production models, all of it laid out under an October sun that still has some warmth left in it.
This year's edition has a specific angle. The Porsche Club Méditerranée wants to gather as many Paint To Sample Porsches as possible, those factory-ordered bespoke colours you almost never see twice, and line them up by shade. The whole thing organised with the help of Dominique Maroni, colour specialist at Flat6 Magazine. A gradient of rare finishes in the Tropezian light. It sounds quietly spectacular.
The high point of the weekend remains the Sunday afternoon parade, when the cars leave the park and wind their way along the quays. Locals know the drill: that day, you walk.
Entry is free on Friday and Saturday, 5 euros on Sunday. Open from 8am to 8pm. And honestly, it's one of those rare autumn weekends where the village feels like it belongs to people who actually love something, rather than people who simply want to be seen.
