But also… salty experiences
Visit the Under the Pole caravan

The goal? To understand the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.
On the agenda: a photo exhibition, educational toolkits for all ages, film screenings, and more…
Under the Pole is an organization dedicated to protecting ocean biodiversity.
Learn how to rig a boat with Sailcoop
To do what? Hoist the sails, sailor!
We’ll stay on dry land, but you’ll set up the mast and sails just as if you were heading out to sea.
For eco-conscious food lovers
Chocolate tasting with Grain de Sail – you’ll see, it tastes like adventure!
Grain de Sail transports its goods between Europe and America in a carbon-free way.
An artistic moment
3, 2, 1… Color! But not on just any surface—this might be your one and only chance to paint on a boat sail!
A fun activity for both kids and adults… And the cherry on top? This sail will later be hoisted on the boat accompanying a swimmer during their Atlantic crossing. How amazing is that?
But also...
Take part in an escape game on the theme of water by the Water Family, a photo exhibition by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a comic book corner inside a boat for a relaxing break, and a space to observe the water quality of the Seine under a microscope (in collaboration with Tara Océan).
