Les Sables-d’Olonne Vendée Globe. What is the River Pass really for?
It should not necessarily reduce the crowds who want to visit the Vendée Globe Village and go on the pontoons.
Its essential attraction is that he avoids having to reserve a specific time slot and having to go online to make a reservation.
Residents of Sablais and residents of the Sables-d'Olonne urban area can therefore simply print this Pass and present it at the entrance to the Village at the time they wish to go.
No other constraints, therefore a certain freedom to come and go.
This is already a lot and will give a feeling of freedom that this reservation had reduced.
Its weakness lies in the fact that no identity check will be possible, so it relies on a certain civic spirit.
For the rest, this will not limit possible queues for the Village, and will not remove the maximum capacity for access to the Vendée Globe pontoon.
According to certain sources, the mayor requested an increase in the VG pontoon gauge.
The duration of access to the Village is only the repercussion of the incredible success of the Vendée Globe!
It is important to understand that the pontoon is not extendable, that the area is constrained, and that the available space is limited.
The one who risks being stunned by this fantastic craze is the creator of the Vendée Globe, Philippe Jeantot.
He will be present today in Sables-d'Olonne. He hadn't come back for 20 years, since 2004!
