The Grand Pavois La Rochelle Boat Show is the first boat show of the Autumn season.Entre Jeep® et le monde du nautisme, la passion pour le grand large, synonyme d’évasion et d’aventure, est commune. Il sommeille dans chaque Jeeper une envie de larguer les amarres dès que l’on monte à bord de sa Jeep®.
C’est l’une des raisons qui ont poussé Jeep® France à nouer un partenariat avec le Grand Pavois La Rochelle, classé dans le top 5 des salons nautiques internationaux à flot.

Onboard the Bélouga “Gwenva” during the “ Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan”.

The “Semaine du Golfe” (Gulf’s Week) in Morbihan, the 8th “rendez-vous” for the sailing maritime heritage.
Once again, the Gulf gathering boats of every size and every tradition: sail&oar craft, small “camp cruising” boats, classic yachts, fishing boats, classic motorboats… Most of them are coming from the French Atlantic coasts, but also, from The British Islands, the North Sea, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean…
The Gulf of Morbihan is a true inland ‘little sea’ composed of 12 000 hectares of Atlantic sea sheltered from swell. A magical place where sea, land & sky melt in changing & picturesque landscapes. The Morbihan Gulf is part of the World Most Beautiful Bays Club.
In breton language, « Mor-Bihan » means ‘little sea’. Thousands of years ago, when rivers had already dug their beds, they were deluged by Atlantic waters. This is why the Ocean goes so far inland towards Vannes & Auray through typically Breton rias, surrounding former hills which have turned into an archipelago of uncountable islands, the biggest being the Ile d’Arz & the Ile aux Moines.

Hong Kong is perpetually on the go, between the present and the future, it is hyperactive, like the world itself in the early years of the 21st century. Founded by Europeans, developed by Asians, governed by Chinese, designed and run by entrepreneurs, architects, economists, and adventurers from the four corners of the world, in its streets and waterways you may sense the turning of the Earth itself.
