The Brest Sport Tour takes place every year in several different districts, in order to allow everyone to come and experience sports that they would not have access to by any other means and with sometimes surprising names such as: the Troll Ball, the Dragon Boal...

Brest: a nautical city! It is therefore obvious that in this city you can attend extraordinary maritime events and Brest Atlantic is one of them. It is a non-stop transatlantic crewed race, lasting 25 days. Its first edition took place in November 2019 and saw the victory of Franck Camas and Charles Caudrelier. Covered by the media, there is no doubt that this race will be one of the most anticipated offshore races. This is another great opportunity to come and visit the city of Ponant.
