Brush Up Your French at the Routes des Princes

#RoutesDesPrinces – Alliance Francais welcomes you to their stand in Dun Laoghaire Harbour during the weekend of 22-23 June when the Route des Princes fleet make their five-day stopover.

Stroll along to the pier stall (10am-6pm both days) where there will lots of surprises for the whole family and a chance to win one of our Summer courses! Plus face-painting, a book sale, lucky draw and more!

The sailing spectacle which started this week continues to 30 June and is open to all multihulls of 50ft and on race a tour of Europe that focuses on the regional and the local, taking a dozen crews from Valencia in southern Spain, the Bay of Morlaix in Brittany, the Portuguese capital Lisbon, Dún Laoghaire and Plymouth in Cornwall.

Roscoff is to be the venue for the grand finale festival, 'Between Land and Sea' and where the Route des Princes aims to be an altogether different kind of race to celebrate, meet new people and experiencing new cultures – so that is what it's all about.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
