The release on screens this Wednesday of “La Vallée des Fous”, where Jean-Paul Rouve engages in the game from his garden, alone on a boat, in racing conditions (Jean Le Cam and his wife, Anne, collaborated on the scenario), should bring a new spotlight. “The Vendée Globe represents adventure, wide open spaces, surpassing oneself and events, such as the rescues of sailors by others, have contributed to making it popular,” estimates Thomas Gauthier, deputy general director of Virtual Regatta.
