Virginie Hériot (1890-1932) was introduced to sailing on prestigious yachts from a young age. A fierce competitor, she participated in crewed regattas throughout Europe and, in 1928, became the first French woman to win a gold medal in this discipline at the Olympic Games. This catalog, illustrated with extensive archival material, evokes the exceptional life of this ambassador of French yachting, who met an untimely death.
It also describes a certain society of the interwar period, with its codes and personalities, some of whom were close to the navigator; she indeed maintained close relations with the world of the sea, as with that of art and fashion.
