Grand Pavois - International In-Water Boat Show 2014

THE GRAND PAVOIS, THE MAIN EVENT FOR SAILING FANS
Created in 1973, the Grand Pavois de La Rochelle has become one of the major events in the international boat show calendar as it has seen the number of exhibitors attending multiplied by 20 and visitor numbers 30-fold, passing the 100,000 visitor mark in 2002 to make the Grand Pavois one of the largest international in-water boat shows. 10,000 square metres of exhibition space, themed areas catering to special interests, 700 boats on show including 300 in the water, over 860 international exhibitors... The Grand Pavois boat show is the first one of the new season and once again remains faithful to its stated ambition of meeting the needs of the professionals in the business. A unique event in the European boat show world, it is worth remembering that the Grand Pavois association is run by professionals for professionals. Finally, the Grand Pavois is once again perfectly in tune with the expectations of the European market, as it highlights the genuine qualities of French products made for the export and international markets, and proves as always the wide variety, ingenuity and versatility of the small boatyards, which are still just as numerous in choosing this event born in 1973 as their annual boat show.
