The elegant silhouette of a three-master, all sails hoisted, appeared on the horizon, much to the delight of the people of Marseille. Our iconic yacht Le Ponant, Relais & Châteaux establishment, made quite an entrance into the bay, accompanied by Le Beneteau Figaro 3 "One Ponant" steered by skipper André-Luc Morante.
The Captain of Le Ponant, Jean-David Lemaire, recalls this new sailing experience with great emotion.
