Every year, monthly October, Honfleur celebrates fishing and seafood, during this traditional festival. The medieval city is transformed into a maritime city, with stands on the theme of the sea taking over the quays of the Vieux Bassin. Various events are organized throughout the weekend.
Tribute to seafood and fishermen
Due to the desertification of the small grey shrimp for several years, and after 29 editions, this festival is now called “The Shell and Fishing Festival” from Honfleur.
The program highlights the fishermen, present throughout the weekend and who will sell the fresh products of their catch et will present their profession to the general public.
Particular focus will be placed on thewater, more precisely Le Fil de l'eau, from the thin stream of water called ru to the sea. The idea is to take the time to see and observe what happens along the water, the different ecosystems encountered, identify the fauna and flora. Note, unfortunately, the impact of man on nature and how to remedy it? Nature being, in most cases, our best ally.
You will understand, the shell and fishing festival is a date GENUINE which pays tribute to fishing, the emblem of the city. Throughout the weekend, we celebrate the fishermen, boats and their crews, the sea and everything that surrounds it.
