A LOOK INTO THE BAY OF MORLAIX
From September 10 to 14, 2025, the Bay of Morlaix will host the 56th edition of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec. This stopover, organized by the CCI Finistère Morlaix delegation, in conjunction with its public and private partners, is a unique opportunity to discover the talents of competitive sailing and enjoy the activities planned for young and old.
By hosting this national event in its marina at Roscoff Bloscon and by organizing events in the village, the CCI is helping to strengthen the attractiveness of the Bay of Morlaix and promote its region and businesses.
During this stopover, the port will live to the rhythm of entertainment, meetings between skippers and the public, and a program designed to promote local know-how, the economic fabric and the maritime identity of the Morlaix region.
The public, young and old, will be able to enjoy this festive program around the sea, discover the world of ocean racing and experience the unique atmosphere of a stopover of the Solitaire in a remarkable natural setting.
