La Traversée de Paris

Published 11:09 on 18 Sep 2024

18 rowers from 3 Chichester Harbour clubs - Bosham, Itchenor, and the Coastal Rowing Academy - recently took part in La Traversée de Paris, a 28km row along the Seine.

After a bright and early start (at sunrise), the rowers were blessed with close to perfect conditions lots of sun and not a breath of wind. The support of crew of 6 were also able to enjoy themselves cycling along the banks of this iconic river.

The authorities closed off the river to all other traffic for the duration of the event which made for unparalleled views of one of the most visited cities in the world.

Congratulations to all those who took part and supported!
