Lateen sailed boats on the beach at Anse de Paulilles or the Bay of Paulilles, in Catalogne du Nord, France, part of the 'Vire-vire de caractere', celebrating Mediterranean maritime heritage. The festival takes place every 2 years, this 4th event being held on 5th and 6th September 2020. Paulilles is a protected area of the Mediterranean between Port-Vendres and Banyuls-sur-Mer in Pyrenees-Orientales. These colourful traditional catalan boats or barques catalanes with triangular sails, have been used since Roman times for fishing sardine and anchovy. Picture by Manuel Cohen
