Fishing on the Loire


Fishing is still important in the lower Loire.  Here is an example of the old and the new boats that can be found there.   I saw these on the last day of our bike tour as we neared the Atlantic.

    1. This is actually a Rohrschach test, and fabric artists always see fabric instead of fishing nets.

    1. Well that guy was doing it the hard way...a fishing line instead of nets. I'm guessing he wasn't trying to make a living off of his catch! On the other hand, he was probably having a lot more fun.
