This is hardly the first time the two famous families have joined up for a getaway. When Zachary, Gideon and Harper were just babies, they joined the 71-year-old legendary singer on a vacation in the same spot. Back in 2011, they all climbed aboard Sir Elton’s yacht.

After dressing the three children in sun caps and pint-sized life jackets, the group disembarked their yacht and loaded up a Zodiac craft from Saint-Tropez beach restaurant Club 55 at noon.

They then sailed to the wooden pier at Pampelonne Beach, where dozens of locals had gathered to see them come ashore.
