Mainly a holiday resort now, Le Croisic in Brittany has an impressive series of harbours and was a very different sort of place in the past.
Although most of the boats and yachts that use them these days are quite unlike those of fifty or a hundred years ago, there are a few treasures in among the white plastic, and the handsome circumnavigating Colin Archer-inspired yacht Kurun is certainly one. I loved the ancient monument sign on a boat; perhaps we should have them in the UK.
But what’s happening to the decaying fishing vessel? Isn’t it worth preserving and using? I remember when there were many more fishing boats in this area, and they were all tremendous carvel-built craft like this.
