For the first time, a collective of businesses, artists and associations from Saint-Malo has set up a village in Pointe-à-Pitre, creating lasting connections beyond the Route du Rhum.
The Escales Saint-Malo Guadeloupe village has set up quarters in the heart of Pointe-à-Pitre, marking a significant step in the ambition to transform the Route du Rhum into a permanent bridge between the two shores of the Atlantic. For the first time, businesses, artists and nautical associations from Saint-Malo have united under a common banner to establish a lasting presence in Guadeloupe.
This initiative aims to go beyond the ephemeral nature of the famous transatlantic race. By setting up this village, the collective intends to create economic, cultural and sporting relationships that would endure well beyond the highlights of the competition. The stated objective is clear: to keep the Route du Rhum alive every day of the year.
The choice of Guadeloupe is not trivial. The archipelago serves as a natural and symbolic stopover for sailors departing from Saint-Malo. By establishing themselves directly on site, the Saint-Malo stakeholders hope to develop concrete partnerships with local businesses and associations.
This approach reflects a determination to strengthen exchanges between Brittany and the French Antilles. It could serve as a model for other initiatives aimed at perpetuating the spirit of the great maritime races throughout the year.
