Piriac-sur-mer (Loire-Atlantique)
Piriac-sur-mer Le Figaro
With its small cobbled streets and nicely lined with giant hydrangeas or climbing roses leading invariably to its small fishing port, but also to its 800 pleasure rings, Piriac-sur-Mer, in the heart of the Pays de Guérande, has always offered its sailors calm after the storm.
It is in this precious Breton setting, sheltered from the oxblood or navy blue shutters of its granite houses erected to withstand storms, that the skippers of the 54th edition of the Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, who left Caen on August 27, are expected from Wednesday, September 13 at the end of this legendary sailing race. "This should not be a problem for the thirty-two competitors of the Figaro, but arriving in Piriac can sometimes be a little dangerous with a west wind. It is also necessary to avoid a rocky plateau northwest of the entrance to the channel, "warns Frédéric Dacheux, deputy port master to the harbour master's office.
