2008 Grand Pavois expands
By IBI Magazine
The organisers of next year's Grand Pavois boat show in La Rochelle, France have announced that a new 15,000sq m area devoted to sail and powerboats over 15m (50ft) will be located in the heart of the old part of the city at the 2008 event.
The new Prestige Yachts area will be based in the Bassin des Chalutiers, where around 40 large yachts will be displayed on water. A free shuttle bus will also be on hand to transport visitors from the Bassin des Chalutiers to Minimes Harbour, where the show traditionally takes place.
Around 700 boats, including 300 on water, will be making an appearance at Grand Pavois 2008, which runs from September 10-15 across both venues. More than 100,000 visitors and 850 international exhibitors are expected to attend.
