While he is currently in full Brest-Atlantiques race, off Brazil, the navigator François Gabart took the time to wish Matthieu Noël a happy birthday. Before his departure for the race, the French skipper had spent in the studios of "L'Equipée sauvage" on Europe 1, on October 15, to return to the first edition of this sailing race.

Usually, it is Matthieu Noël who reserves the surprises for his guests and the journalists who accompany him in L'Equipée sauvage on Europe 1. But on this November 13, his birthday, the roles are reversed. The host was then pleasantly surprised to discover a video of François Gabart, wishing him a happy birthday aboard the Trimaran Macif and accompanied by his acolytes Gwénolé Gahinet and Jérémie Eloy. The trio is currently off Brazil, during the Brest-Atlantiques race, which they are leaders. François Gabart came to talk about it last October 15 on Europe 1. The Brest-Atlantiques takes navigators off Rio de Janeiro, then near Cape Town, South Africa, before they return to Brest.
