The morning opens with a solemn moment of remembrance. At 10:00 am, the Saint-Benoît church hosts a mass in tribute to fallen sailors, a solemn moment that reminds us how much the sea is part of the Agathois soul.

The vessels sail by, adorned with flags, under the Mediterranean sun, in a waterborne procession that leaves no one unmoved.
