Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez were seen racing on the PDA as they continued their endless summer, sailing their superyacht through Europe.
The couple, who have been traveling across the Mediterranean since May 15, on the Amazon founders’ $500 million superyacht Koru, were seen laughing as they stopped in Cannes, France.
They were later spotted holding hands as they enjoyed a sunset hike on the nearby island of Sainte Marguerite.
In a photo, Sanchez, 53, dressed in a monochromatic sports outfit with a black cap, can be seen affectionately hugging the billionaire, 59, who was wearing a simple black t-shirt and swimsuit, from behind, while they were leaving the huge boat.
The stopover in the south of France is just the latest in a long list of idyllic and luxurious places the couple, who got engaged in July, have visited during their summer holidays.

The pair have previously been spotted hanging out in France, Italy, Mallorca and Spain.
Last week, they enjoyed a quiet dinner with their respective children in the picturesque fishing village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera.
The former news anchor stunned in a strapless Mirae dress with a butterfly print and asymmetric hem, while Bexos opted for a navy t-shirt with cream pants and trainers.
The adored couple sat down with Sanchez’s two teenage boys, whom she shares with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell. She also has a 22-year-old son, Nikko Gonzales, with ex-NFL star Tony Gonzales.
Another teenager, believed to be one of the billionaire’s younger sons, also joined them.
Bezos has four children with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Their eldest son, Preston Bezos, was born in 2000, and they also have two younger sons and a daughter they adopted from China.
It’s unclear exactly when the Amazon boss and the Emmy Award-winning journalist first met, but their affair was first revealed in the National Enquirer in January 2019.
Shortly after, Scott filed for divorce after more than 25 years of marriage. After their separation, Scott became one of the richest women in the world with a 4% stake in Amazon.
The duo have already been seen hanging out in France, Italy, Mallorca and Spain this summer

Sanchez and Bezos’ affair was revealed in 2019, with the two divorcing their respective partners the same year
Sanchez was also still with her husband Whitesell when her relationship with Bezos came to light.
It then emerged that Whitesell, who is executive chairman of Endeavour, the parent company of talent agency William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), introduced the pair.
Both divorces were finalized in April 2019, with the couple making their first public appearance the following month before flying to St. Barths.
As the third richest man in the world, Bezos is no stranger to lavish summer vacations and their current jaunt through Europe looks no different.
At 417ft long and 230ft high, Koru is one of the largest sailing ships in the world with a 250ft support vessel that has its own helipad.
A myriad of guests joined the couple, seen jumping from the huge ship.
Last month, their engagement was confirmed when photos emerged of the couple kissing and paddling on the boat, with Sanchez sporting a huge gemstone ring on her finger – sparkling proof that she said yes.
It is believed he proposed while they were off Cannes.
Last week Bezos and Sanchez were beaming as they headed out to dinner in Portofino, Italy on Monday night

The Koru is the second largest sailboat in the world, surpassed only by the Philippe Starcke-designed Sailing Yacht A, which is owned by Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.
The yacht, named Koru after the Maori word for “new beginnings”, comes more than five years after it was commissioned, before finally being handed over to Bezos in April after being sea tested.
Known then as “Project 721”, the ship was built in the historic port of Zwijndrecht, near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, by sailing specialists Oceanco.
Previous designs include the 350ft Black Pearl, an all-black aluminum sailboat designed for Russian billionaire Oleg Burlakov, who died of Covid in 2021 and whose family still owns the vessel.

Bezos may have paid homage to Sanchez when he designed the megayacht, which features a wooden sculpture of a Roman goddess carved into the bow of the ship who looks strikingly like his bride-to-be.
It’s unclear when the golden sculpture became part of the ship’s design, but it was commissioned in 2018, a year before their affair was revealed.
