Fishermen's hut, Etang de Canet, Occitanie, France

Fishermen's hut and nets drying, at the Etang de Canet, Canet-en-Roussillon, Pyrenees-Orientales, Catalogne du Nord, France. In the distance is the Pic du Canigou. The Canigou stands at 2784m and is the highest of the Eastern peaks of the Pyrenees. There are 10 cabins, originally lived in by fishermen and now used for storage of trabaques or traditional fishing nets. The cabins are made from driftwood and reeds, which grow in the lake and are cut, dried and tied to make waterproof walls. They were traditionally divided into 3 rooms, a store for fishing equipment, a bedroom and a central living room and kitchen. Each hut lasts 18-25 years and the current ones were renovated in 1993.
