A newly reinforced device for the event’s record year.
An unprecedented 52’ of live TV coverage on FRANCE 3 for the race start
For the start of the CIC Normandy Channel Race on Sunday 15 May at 13:30 hours, FRANCE3 NORMANDIE is providing 52’ of live coverage with the support of the IMAGINE IN FRANCE teams, which begins airing at 13:25 hours local time. This live coverage will be hosted by Laurent Marvylle of France 3 and Louis Duc, a skipper with very close ties to the event, having participated in it 9 times before setting out on his quest to compete in the next Vendée Globe on an Imoca 60. In the process of being finalised, the device set up by FRANCE 3 NORMANDIE also includes FRANCE 3 HAUTS DE FRANCE, FRANCE 3 BRETAGNE and FRANCE 3 NOUVELLE – AQUITAINE. Furthermore, the start will be broadcast across all the digital networks associated with FRANCE 3 and the event.
A new 26’ magazine programme to present the event and its universe
Anne Boétie, host of the morning show “Vous êtes formidables” on FRANCE 3, will treat viewers and spectators to a fresh take on the event in a 26’ magazine programme on Friday 13 May. This will involve a series of on-set discussions on location in Caen, as well as several debates on a host of themes including the role of women in sailing and the dynamics of building Class40s in Normandy. An editor from the show will even take the place of a co-skipper… yet another approach testifying to the event’s positive impact on the region.
