Tall Ship Race: l’Armada

By 13/07/2008May 6th, 2026No Comments

Some of the most beautiful sailing ships in the world are gathered in Rouen this week. We are hopping in and out the crowds with our three cars, but we cannot help walking in awe amidst these queens of the sea. Miles and miles of sail, marines, and telltale odours. Boyish sailing songs. Shiny cupper. Fairy shipbells. Gorgeous ships, with mast and ropes waken the little pirates in us 🙂
