To Clarice de Saint Malo & To all Friends all over the World
These photos depict Lisbon as viewed from the River Tagus (# 1) and the Training Ship BELEM, a beautiful French Tall Ship (almost as beautiful as [CREOULA] hehehe), at Saint Malo (# 2). You CAN and SHOULD take a look at their Programme for this coming Spring and Summer [HERE].
As a quick outlook, please note that:
- Belem will be open to public on the following ports (Le Belem sera ouvert au public dans les ports suivants): a) 30 March 2008: Brest; b) 06 April 2008: Saint Malo; c) 19 April 2008: Calais; d) 08 May 2008: La Rochelle. She will be the guest of honour of this french city, from where she will depart to the Atlantic Crossing to Québec. Belem est l'invité d'honneur de La Rochelle, qui l'accueillera dans le Vieux port pour participer aux festivités du départ de la Grande Traversée La Rochelle – Québec.
- Several opportunities to sail on the Great Voyage of Belem to Québec (Le Grand Voyage du Belem à Québec):
- Bordeaux – Madère (Madeira Island, Portugal): 19 - 29 May 2008 (€ 1200);
- Boston (or Halifax) – Québec: 22 (or 25) June to 01 July 2008 (€ 1000 or € 850);

It will end at Torre de Belém, our beautiful Lisbon Monument! I WILL TRY TO REGISTER ON THIS ONE! Première partie du Grand Voyage de retour : 24 jours de traversée de l'Atlantique au portant à bord d'un trois-mâts à phare carré, et 2 escales à St Pierre & Miquelon et aux Açores. Ce voyage s'achèvera au pied de la Tour de Belém à Lisbonne.
- Lisbonne – Marseille: 21 - 30 August 2008 (€ 1000);
- Açores (Azores islands, Portugal) – Lisbonne: 12 to 19 August 2008 (€ 900) This also looks very nice... I've done it at CREOULA and I recommend it!
