The Ateliers de la Gazelle des Sables become... l' Ateliers des Gazelles

New shipyard, new visual identity, new boats...

2025 marks a major turning point for our company: Les Ateliers de la Gazelle des Sables is evolving into a new identity — more direct, more vibrant, and fully embraced. From now on, we are l’Atelier des Gazelles.

This transition comes during a time full of change. Between introspection, new beginnings, and reorganization, the start of the year has been intense — but fruitful. With over 800 families already on board, and our boats sailing from the Mediterranean to the Norwegian fjords, via the Scottish lochs and the great lakes of Italy, l’Atelier des Gazelles is now a benchmark in the world of handcrafted small boats: built to last, made to sail, and designed to inspire.

And this year is all the more meaningful as it marks the 20th anniversary of the workshop. Two decades of passion, craftsmanship, and human adventure, driven by a strong bond with our community.

This change of name is not a break from the past — it’s a statement. We are growing, evolving, while staying true to what defines us: a commitment to quality, freedom, and elegance.

The workshop has also changed its home port. We’ve moved — to better serve you and support our development. You can now find us at 90 rue de la Soie, in the Murie business park, in Saint-Georges-sur-Loire.

This new production space is larger and better suited to our needs, allowing us to work in improved conditions and meet ever-growing demand.

To accompany this new chapter, we’ve also launched a brand-new website: atelierdesgazelles.com.

Clearer and more user-friendly, it lets you configure your boat, order accessories, follow our latest news, or contact us easily. It’s a true reflection of who we’ve become: a modern, agile workshop that truly listens to its customers.

Our visual identity has also set a new course. New logo, new colors, new tone of voice: this design overhaul captures the fresh momentum that has been driving l’Atelier des Gazelles for months.

But beyond aesthetics, it’s a clear intention: to gain clarity, consistency, and impact.

All our documentation has been completely redesigned, with a simple goal — to deliver the essentials more clearly and concisely.

Finally, a new team is helping bring this project to life. Alongside Patrick, still at the helm, a strong team of women now gives shape to l’Atelier des Gazelles: Anna in production, Géraldine in administration, and Dorine in communication — each bringing energy and dedication to this collective adventure.

We warmly thank all those who follow us, support us, and place their trust in us.

We know that this transition period may have required some patience, and we are truly grateful.

Behind the scenes of the workshop, among wood shavings and sparks of ideas, a new silhouette is taking shape.

It doesn’t yet have a name, but it already carries the spirit of the Gazelles.

Stay tuned… something exciting is coming.
