The Adventurers’ weekend in Saint-Tropez
Noreve makes discover its Tropézien Art de Vivre.
Noreve invited 40 celebrities from Koh-Lanta for a weekend at Saint-Tropez in order to support the project of Béatrice Kaboré to bring her brother to the Paralympic Games of 2024. The presence of the adventurers in Saint-Tropez did not go unnoticed.
The Koh Lanta show
Koh Lanta is a French adventure show presented by Denis Brogniart since 2002. It is the flagship show of TF1 with over 5 million viewers. The principle is as follows: 14 to 20 candidates must survive on an uninhabited island for 40 days. They will have to build a shelter to protect themselves from external conditions, find food to supplement the rice ration provided at the beginning of the adventure and maintain the fire they have managed to make. Each candidate has a backpack containing some clothes and personal effects. During this adventure, products related to food or hygiene coming from outside are forbidden except those that the candidates win during the tests.
The objectives of this event
Based on an idea by Béatrice Kaboré, a Tropezian and brilliant Koh Lanta adventurer, on July 2, 3 and 4, Saint-Tropez had the pleasure of welcoming 40 adventurers for a common cause. The House of Noreve was delighted to attend, accompany and sponsor this charity event. The organization of this event had several objectives:
- To make the adventurers discover Saint-Tropez (its heritage, its Art de Vivre etc.)
- To promote this city,
- To collect funds for the brother of Béatrice Kaboré, Jean Pierre Kaboré, victim of a car accident and wishing to participate in the Paralympic Games : https://www.leetchi.com/fr/c/lNPvx635 ;
The program of the weekend
On Friday, July 2, a petanque tournament was organized on the famous Place des Lices in Saint-Tropez. The participants were dressed in white. An evening with aperitif and great musical atmosphere also took place in Jean Roch’s restaurant and nightclub, La Gioia.
On Saturday, July 3, Christophe Fassetta and his daughter organized a rally race (by 4 teams of 11 people) in the streets of Saint-Tropez. The adventurers had to find emblematic places like the Gendarmerie of Saint-Tropez, Sénéquier, the Citadelle, Cécile, etc.
At noon, they had lunch at Syndie’s, the restaurant of the UST tennis club. This lunch was offered to them by the city of Saint-Tropez.
The sports events took place in the afternoon on the beach. Many surprise games were also organized.
Finally, the birthday party for the 30 years of Béatrice Kaboré was celebrated at the restaurant “Café Flora”, on invitation of the Toison d’Or. On the program: show, percussions, dances, music with DJ @Maximelmg and many surprises.
On Sunday, July 4, the adventurers enjoyed a sea ride aboard “La Rose des Vents II” to discover the coastline of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and spent the afternoon at Eden Plage.
The adventurers were particularly delighted by this wonderful weekend as shown by the hundreds of stories and posts published on social networks. Funds were also raised for Jean Pierre’s project. The adventurers were available to the general public for photo sessions and autographs, and hundreds of tourists were able to have their picture taken with their idols, with the city of Saint-Tropez as a backdrop.
Thanks to the success of this event, we would like to renew this invitation and create a family, sport and ecological event around the future Noreve Foundation.
