ESCAPE TO THE SEA
Alongside one of the DYC instructors, embark on a marine escapade in the calm movement of a sailboat to admire the sea birds and the Seine estuary for two hours of unforgettable stroll. Accessible from 3 years old, the DYC sea trips adapt to the public to give a new look to the coast and make you want to deepen your knowledge of sailing before taking sailing lessons.
