All the practicing, fundraising& emotions will come to fruition as we set our paddles in Aix-les-Bains Lac du Bourget

🐲👩Some of us are already on route and the rest will be soon. 14 of our dragon ladies will have the honour of experiencing this monumental event!! 🎉🙌❤️☀️💪🏆

It all began in 2011 with one woman, Geneviève Garreau, and a bold ambition: to create France's 2nd BCS team in Annecy (Les Drôles de Rames)

15 years later, her dream welcomes 4,500 paddlers from around the world. 🌸 🐉

In 10 days, the IBCPC France 2026 Festival opens its doors in Aix-les-Bains!

Thanks Geneviève😉
