The Au Gré des Vents sardine boat

Fishing

Built in 1964, the "Au Gré des Vents" sardine boat became an icon of La Turballe’s sardine fishing and a living testimony to fishing in La Turballe. This 24-tonne boat was used for fishing until 1992. Saved from destruction by some heritage enthusiasts, "Au Gré des Vents" was restored and kept afloat. Hop on board… with a local guide, and discover the different tools and techniques used for fishing, the different compartments of the boat as well as the difficult life of men at sea.
