Hello,

 

I am very pleased to announce the first edition of International Seafarers Day in Villefranche on MONDAY 25 JUNE 2018, the detailed programme for which you will find attached.

On that day, we will make you aware of our passion for the Maritime Heritage of Villefranche-sur-Mer.

For your information: Seafarers Day is one of the United Nations Official International Days.

 

The “Villefranche and Seafarers” collective whose purpose is to contribute to the development of the marine heritage of Villefranche-sur-Mer, is the organizer of this beautiful day in partnership with the Municipality of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the 06 Department Council and the Nice Ports CCI.

 

It includes several associations:

  • The Americans and the Sixth Fleet in Villefranche-sur-Mer
  • Anao, archaeological underwater research association
  • Association to Preserve the Maritime Heritage of Villefranche
  • Association of Pleasure Boat Crews of Villefranche
  • Association of the Villefranche Gig
  • Club de la Mer

 

Other associations will join us shortly.

 

On 13 May, a beautiful underwater photo was taken by the photographer Olivier Jude and his model Sylvie Laurent which we will be unveiled on June 25 at the Citadel auditorium. Some photos of May 13: https://1drv.ms/e/s!Apyt9x_jrby8n2gnP5u6hXVTYZ4
