Charal, the leading meat brand in France, was born in 1986 out of a desire to simplify consumption and preserve the quality of fresh meat thanks to a groundbreaking technological innovation in the world of meat with the Hebdopack® preservation process. Since then, Charal has continued to innovate in order to bring ever greater safety, quality and pleasure to the consumer and has become the leading brand of butchery products sold in the fresh and frozen sections in France.
Profile
For more than 20 years, Jérémie Beyou has built up one of the most impressive track records in offshore racing. He is a skilled and passionate sailor who shines by his tenacity and perseverance in raising the bar a little higher. One of the favourites for the 2020 Vendée Globe, he was forced to return to Les Sables d'Olonne for repairs and then set off again 9 days, 2 hours and 50 minutes after the official start. He finished 13th. Today, he is at the helm of Charal 2, a new IMOCA that led him to the third step of the podium in the Route du Rhum 2022. More motivated than ever for 2024, he is eager to take his revenge on the last edition.
