The Return of the White Pirate: a quest for hospitalised children
5th edition of Les Voiles Blanches – from 26 August to 11 September 2025
Dear sailors,
We invite you to drop off new toys in the chest located at the entrance of the Port Office, for the benefit of children hospitalised at Lenval Hospital. The White Pirate will come and collect them soon! > 7 September 2025 🙂 👬🧸🧩
For the fifth consecutive year, the White Pirate is setting sail again with a mission close to his heart: Collecting toys for children hospitalised at the Lenval Foundation. From 26 August to 11 September 2025, he will sail the Mediterranean, between Cassis and Nice, passing through Monaco, Cap d’Ail, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and other coastal ports.
At the helm of his sailing boat, the legendary White Pirate will sail from port to port, braving the waves, playing with the wind, and carrying toys donated by generous donors in his hold. This treasure will then be delivered to the Lenval Foundation in Nice, where it will be distributed throughout the year to hospitalised children.
His journey can be followed in real time on the Voiles Blanches YouTube channel, allowing children (and adults!) to experience this wonderful adventure distantly, port after port.
A joyful toy collection campaign! 😊
The departure is scheduled for 26 August 2025, with stops at the following ports:
- Cassis
- Port Grimaud
- Saint-Tropez
