NOTRE-DAME-DE-RUMENGOL-AN-TEST

Water tours and activities

Navigating the Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, it's a little dive in the history of commercial navigation to sail.

The culmination of a long renovation site, and a new life for this sailboat to the rich past. Classified as a historic monument, this gabare was established in 1945 at Keraudren town Hall. First used for the transport of wine, Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol subsequently liaises between Brittany and England for the carriage of sand. His career ended in 1980, for a while.

The association also offers an introduction to astronomical navigation for those who doubt the reliability of their GPS.
