Racing boats with skippers, boats returning from round-the-world trips with families on-board,

or polar expeditions by researchers, ships recently restored after many years away from the water, vessels with amazing stories, the Grand Pavois La Rochelle maintains the dream and promotes encounters. Since the arrival of Damien in 1973 with Gérard Janichon and Jérôme Poncet aboard, Joshua with Bernard Moitessier at the helm, the presence of Imocas and their skippers, winners of major events, not to mention Corentin de Chatelperron arriving from Bangladesh, this Events Boats space has always made visitors dream and helped some of them take the step towards great journeys and wonderful adventures. The Grand Pavois La Rochelle is also about that: maintaining the dream!
