Orlane, a certified Captain 200 sailing vessel , has a deep passion for traditional sailing ships: having already served as a deckhand aboard Fleur de Lampaul in Norway , she then spent seven years at the helm of the bisquine La Cancalaise , before returning to Fleur in 2025 as captain . An expert in traditional rigging, she is committed to enthusiastically and authentically passing on the spirit of traditional sailing to each crew member.
Julien, a former shore-based cook , set sail for the sea, becoming head chef aboard the replica of the Hermione , where he prepared the crew's meals daily. After a season as a cook on the Fleur de Lampaul , he is now Second Mate , using his seafaring experience and knowledge of the deck to expertly lead maneuvers—while continuing to contribute his own touch to the ship's cuisine.
