three-masted schooner — one of the first ships confirmed for the Armada de Rouen 2027.
A classic French three-masted tall ship, Le Français adds to the home fleet on the Seine — a graceful traditional rig flying the tricolour among the international guests.
Traditional French rigging and the tricolour at the stern.
Like the rest of the fleet, Le Français will be moored along the Rouen quays from 17–27 June 2027, and boarding is free. Go early in the day to climb aboard before the queues build — the most famous ships draw crowds by mid-morning. See the full fleet and the programme.
We'll email the complete 2027 ship list and boarding schedule the moment the organisers publish them.
