Polar festival organized by Grand Nord Grand Large at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel, Square Rapp, Paris.

Special presentation: 25 years of expeditions aboard Vagabond.

Presentation by France and Eric at the Espace des Mondes Polaires on 26 February at 7pm:

Family and science in the Arctic aboard the Vagabond

Éric, France and their two daughters have been exploring the polar regions for over twenty-five years. Through summer voyages and a dozen winters spent living alongside Inuit communities, they have put their polar sailing boat Vagabond at the service of some sixty scientific projects. Remaining faithful to their initial project – to provide a logistical base for polar research – they have learned to live in the Arctic and continue to support the scientific community.

Eric, president of the official jury for 2025 at the FIFAV (International Adventure Film and Book Festival), from 17 to 23 November 2025 in La Rochelle.
