Catalan boat workshop, Site Classe de l'Anse de Paulilles, Occitanie, France

Restoration workshop for barques catalanes, at the Site Classe de l'Anse de Paulilles in the Bay of Paulilles, in Pyrenees-Orientales, Catalogne du Nord, France. The boatyard keeps alive this Mediterranean maritime heritage, building and repairing these colourful traditional catalan boats with triangular sails, which have been used since Roman times for fishing sardine and anchovy. Paulilles is a protected area of the Mediterranean between Port-Vendres and Banyuls-sur-Mer in Pyrenees-Orientales. Picture by Manuel Cohen
