Christian Estrosi at the start of the 28th edition

For the fourth consecutive year, the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc Start Village was set up in Nice. The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, gave the official send-off of this 28th edition in the presence of Dominique Serra, the event’s founder and director.

“I have a great deal of admiration for all of these extremely courageous, generous women who are setting out to face a number of challenges.  This adventure is a concrete demonstration of their engagement and I would like to thank all those who work to make it possible.”

“This rally stands up for values that are important to me, here on the edge of the Mediterranean, such as solidarity, exchanging with others and sharing.”

“The environmental aspect is also very important. It is interesting to use an event like this to promote ecology. With the electric vehicles competing this year, the Rallye is showing that it is more committed than ever to being a sustainable, innovative event.”
