Granville, a port city with a rich maritime past
The organizers also wish to highlight the economic and cultural importance of the nautical past around which the life of our coastal regions has been structured.
Thus, working sailboats parade in the port and along the shore. A nod to Granville's past as a cod port for over 400 years but also as a coastal fishing port and oyster port of Mont-Saint-Michel, and finally whelks. Granville is still today the first shellfish port of France.
The Festival des Voiles de Travail wants to testify to a very rich past where sailing and the practice of sailing were above all synonymous with livelihood. The occasion to pay a real tribute to the men and women of the sea.
