The Hermione is stopping over in Nice. It will dock at Riboty quay in the port of Nice.
Reconstructing the Hermione, the frigate he took to reach America, is to pay an authentic tribute to La Fayette and preserve the memory of a great adventure of solidarity among people.
Since July 1997, the Hermione-La Fayette Association has embarked on an incredible adventure, the reconstruction of the frigate Hermione, a ship that, in 1780, enabled La Fayette to join the American insurgents fighting for their independence.
Having left Rochefort on January 30, the Hermione is sailing from port to port, with a return to Rochefort scheduled for June 17 at 8:35 AM.
As part of its partnership with the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF), the Hermione takes on board up to 100 young people from Francophone countries as volunteer deckhands.
Coming from diverse social and geographical backgrounds, the candidates are selected solely based on their physical abilities and motivation, in order to board as a deckhand (sailor of the Hermione) for this journey.
