Christophe Galtier caused controversy during the press conference before the PSG-Juventus match on Tuesday after a question from a journalist about the misuse of private jets.
After a long giggle with Kylian Mbappé, the Parisian coach quipped by indicating that the club “
spoke with the company which organizes their trips
” and that he is “seeing if the club cannot travel in a chariot sailing !"
Christophe Roger, president of the French sand yachting federation (FFCV), responded with humor to Christophe Galtier's controversial statement.
Questioned by Europe 1, the leader of the FFCV invited the Parisian club to an initiation to the practice.
“
I am pleased to announce to him that we can go to Nantes from Paris in a sand yacht
, he smiled
.
It takes just nine hours, a well-oriented and constant wind.
It really costs less.
Between €100 and €150 you can go land yachting, with a carbon footprint equal to 0. More seriously, if the PSG team, starting with Kylian Mbappé, wishes to come and do land yachting, the French federation will have the pleasure of inviting them to come for a discovery session.

He specified that the initiation could take place at Plessis-Pâté, in Essonne (91), on the former BA217 air base.
