the nautical villageto introduce children to the joys of skiing, is getting bigger this year.
A nature area has also been created this year to show the actions taken to protect and safeguard the blue planet with the sponsor of the festival, the Aquarium of La Rochelle. But also to become aware of our environmental impact with the Surfrider association invested in raising awareness and educating children and the public.
the mobility village will offer a wide choice of innovative travel tests that have no impact on the environment, such as scooters, electric bicycles, etc. In parallel, a virtual reality space offers a magical three-dimensional world to escape through the air or surf the waves!
