At the height of the scallop fishing season, all the port is lit up with the lights of the fishing boats returning to the quay after a long fishing session in an incredible procession providing an unforgettable experience
Well before the doors open, there are already dozens of them with all their lights on in the outer harbour or beyond the quayside, waiting to unload their precious cargo. And at last, the doors open. The procession can begin. It is a parade and a spectacle. The fishermen return to port proud and relieved.
Every year, this unmissable event attracts locals and visitors alike. It is a special moment, far from the hustle and bustle of major events, where visitors can observe the daily lives of fishermen with respectful attention and curiosity.
This intimate and immersive experience will be enhanced by commentary from Dominique Lamort, quality control specialist for Normandie Fraîcheur Mer, and Sophie Coevoet, tour guide at the Municipal Cultural Center. A moment of sharing, learning, and discovery, which, between the magic of the holidays and family spirit, truly embodies the soul of the region. An event not to be missed!
