For the Christmas and New Year holidays, the Camille Rayon port is decked out in lights to offer the city's residents moments of wonder.

From November 24 to December 12, the marina is organizing a light decoration contest, encouraging all boat owners to illuminate their vessels and give free rein to their creativity.

The awards ceremony will take place on December 19 at 5:30 p.m., with a jury selecting three boats in the following categories: “Sailboat,” “Motorboat,” and “Favorite.”

From December 29, 2025, to January 4, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the marina will host the Vallauris Golfe-Juan Christmas Village. Visitors can enjoy numerous free activities with family or friends, participate in creative workshops or try their hand at fun activities throughout the week. Children can explore the 'Christmas Elf's Cabin', an enchanted place in the heart of the port, and enjoy the village's many bouncy castles.

Food lovers haven't been forgotten! The Christmas Village will offer a wide selection of food stalls selling sweet treats, savoury specialities and hot drinks, which you can enjoy in a festive, maritime atmosphere.

The port's restaurants will be open throughout the festive period and look forward to welcoming visitors.

"We are proud to host the Christmas Village and the Decorations Competition at Port Camille Rayon. These two events reflect our desire to transform the port into a lively, friendly space that is accessible to all and fully integrated into the daily life of Vallauris-Golfe-Juan”. Corinne Reynaud, President of D-Marin France
