La Boudeuse is in Paris

La Boudeuse is in Paris, in front of the Bibliotheque Francois Mitterand in the 13th.
From October 24th, you will be able to get on the ship. It's in Paris to show to the public what the boat looks like and also to present the studies they have done for 3 years since the day they have left: in Bastia (Corsica) in 2004 They conduct researches on "peuples de l'eau" (people living on or close to water).
They went accross Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean from north to south and east to west and also sailed of the Amazon river. You could watch their adventures on French TV, every week I think.
Anyway, it's a great honor and pleasure to be able to visit this ship. It is one of the few French three-master boats still active. It is aim to discover, search and learn just like the great discoverers in the past centuries.
An article (in french) about La Boudeuse.
By the way, if you wonder what "boudeuse" means, I think the appropriate word is "sulky".

Thanks to y.caradec for the photo.
