Violette embodies a generation of sailors who dared, from an early age, to cross the frontiers of the impossible. At just 16, she had already made her mark by crossing the English Channel and the Strait of Gibraltar, revealing a taste for challenge, a thirst for freedom, and an extraordinary boldness that propelled her onto the greatest stages of offshore racing, from the Mini Transat to the Solitaire du Figaro, all the way to the legendary Vendée Globe.

In 2025, at only 23 years old, she completed her first Vendée Globe, sailing solo and non-stop around the world, becoming the youngest female skipper in history to take on this challenge. For nearly three months, she faced storms, solitude, and the immensity of the oceans with a resilience and freshness that captivated hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts. Her adventure was not only a sporting feat; it proved that with willpower, endurance, and a clear vision, it is possible to turn the unreachable into a personal triumph.

Today, Violette continues her journey with the same determination, eager to progress further, to learn from the best, and soon to set sail on an even more powerful boat. She symbolizes the courage, boldness, and perseverance of a youth that does not wait to carve its own path, inspiring everyone to follow their course, even when obstacles stand in the way.
