A big mess on the Seine
But what is the Grand Pagaille? When and where is it organized?
The Grande Pagaille is an unmissable appointment of the Armada.Crews embark on an epic crossing of the Seine from one Seine quay to another. The boats are all made by the crews. All shapes and colors are at the rendezvous.
The public is always so numerous to encourage the crews in this adventure that requires a lot of courage. Spectators settle on the banks of the Seine to contemplate the valiant sailors of the day who try to brave the current of the Seine and rally the other bank.
