Quel est ton prochain grand défi sportif?
Depuis son retour sur Terre, en novembre 2013, on pose très souvent cette question à Mylène : c’est quoi ton prochain défi?
Mylène Paquette

& ocean
The woman with oars
Mylène Paquette decided to change her life completely following a deeply moving conversation with a gravely ill child. She took up ocean rowing to explore her passion for the seas and fulfill her desire to become a mariner. Ms. Paquette became the first person from the Americas to successfully undertake a solo crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat: a human adventure that goes beyond a simple feat of athleticism.

Mylène Paquette successfully rowed solo across the Atlantic: 5,000 kilometres in 129 days, from Halifax to Lorient, France. This is the story of a woman who conquered her fear of water to realize her dream and go beyond the horizon.
Rowing forward, one stroke at a time
Corporate and school conferences
Named Personality of Year 2013 by La Presse and Radio-Canada, Mylène Paquette communicates her passion with candour and humour. This passion drove her as much during her preparation of the journey as it did during her crossing itself, and even today it continues to push her towards new horizons.
