The Fondation Jacques Rougerie – Académie des beaux-arts was honored to attend the launch of the 10th edition of the legendary Vendée Globe in Les Sables-d’Olonne.
On this occasion, Jacques Rougerie delivered an inspiring message to the public at the stand of the Ministry for the Sea and Fisheries. He emphasized the importance of designing the living environments of the future by combining science, art, and technology in harmony with nature and with respect for the oceans.
The event also provided an enriching opportunity to meet Fabrice Loher, Minister for the Sea and Fisheries. Discussions focused on critical topics such as the preservation of marine ecosystems and the essential role of scientists and architects in building a sustainable future.
We wish the best of luck to all the sailors embarking on this extraordinary adventure—a true ode to courage, resilience, and love for the oceans. The Foundation remains committed to supporting creativity and innovation to protect and reimagine our marine environments.
