An international maritime event, a cultural manifestation, a big popular festival, in the gorgeous framework of the “Small Sea” (Mor Bihan in Britton)

Over one thousand traditional boats, divided up into coherent and identifiable flotillas, are sailing every day and make various calls between harbours and anchor points, thus creating a “split out” maritime festival, bringing alive the whole of the Golfe of Morbihan. It is the particular geography and the physical characteristics of this “small sea” (its islands and islets, the narrows which separates and protect it from the high sea, the tides, the currents and counter-currents, the choppy waters) which determinates and rhythm the whole nautical programme.
