These days, people often want the perfect Instagram snaps from their holiday – with a large number basing their decision on this alone. In 2017, a study revealed that two-fifths (40.1%) of millennials choose their holiday destinations based on ‘Instagrammability’ – making it the most important factor when deciding where to go. Although many charter clients prefer the privacy of their own yacht, restaurants that look good on the photo (and also offer fabulous food) are a welcomed addition to their charter itinerary and a photo memoir from an unforgettable Frech Riviera charter holiday. So, hop in your tender and head on shore to discover new places to dine and shine!
