(Minghui.org) A transatlantic sailing race called the Route du Rhum takes place every four years in November, with racers starting in Saint-Malo, France, and finishing in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, covering a total of 3,543 nautical miles (6,562 kilometers).

People were gathered in Pointe-à-Pitre in November to celebrate the arrival of the Route Du Rhum racers. The winner arrived on November 16, 2022, almost seven full days after setting sail from France. Exhibitions were held during the race at Place de la Victoire, Memorial ACTe, Bergevin, and other coastal districts.

Practitioners from Guadeloupe introduced Falun Dafa at the Place de la Victoire on November 11, 2022. The weather was bright and clear and many locals and tourists were strolling around. The practitioners’ booth was located in the middle of the exhibition, and many people learned about Falun Dafa. Several practitioners also distributed truth-clarification flyers on the streets.
