The Route du Rhum in Saint-Malo

The Route du Rhum

Against all odds

Every four years, Saint-Malo vibrates to the rhythm of the departures of the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe. Hundreds of skippers set off single-handed towards Pointe-à-Pitre, carried by the wind and the emotion. It's a unique spectacle, a blend of passion, self-transcendence and a spirit of adventure.
