Guadeloupe
Initially welcomed at the Bas-du-Fort marina in Gosier, then at the Darse and on the Place de la Victoire in Pointe-à-Pitre from 2002, since 2018, the ACTe Memorial has become the setting for the arrivals of all the sailors.
A true architectural masterpiece, it has become a powerful symbol dedicated to collective memory, like a tribute paid by the race to all the islands of the Caribbean arc.
Steeped in history, it has seen and will continue to see for a long time within its walls the solo sailors completing their transatlantic crossing, welcoming them as heroes, from the first to the last, thanks to the enthusiasm of the Guadeloupean public.
In short, whether you are on one side or the other of the Atlantic Ocean, this gathering marks a popular festival that is well known and eagerly awaited by all.

From November 4, 2026
The city of Pointe-à-Pitre, located on the island of Grande-Terre, remains the historic home port of the race and boasts a rich and diverse architectural heritage, which, first and foremost, reflects its historical role and forms a strong component of its identity. Founded in the mid-18th century on the marshy shores of the Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin bay, it developed around this body of water, an exceptional anchorage for ships.
