Approximately 13 days before the start of the race, the town of Saint-Malo invites its visitors to take part in the Route du Rhum festivities. Included in the line-up: a variety of entertainment, food stalls featuring Caribbean specialities and Breton buckwheat pancakes, concerts, and above all, a festive atmosphere!
On the day of departure, the boats leave the docks at dawn to the applause and encouragement of the spectators, setting sail for Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe.
Whether you are travelling with your family and children, on holiday with a group of friends, or enjoying a campsite stay as a couple, make a note in your diaries for this must-see event, which takes place every four years!
