 Everyday, in the early hours of the morning, the fishermen of Le Lavandou, the "pescadous" as they are called here, come back with their nets full of fish. Port du LavandouCome along and share this unique moment of joyful, coloured, bewitching images. At the "prud'homie" fishermen's club you'll find a wide variety of tiny rock fish that make for the finest bouillabaisse (regional fish soup), and what a catch of in-shore fish : scorpion fish, congers, John Dorys and sea perch... The fishermen use several kinds of nets and traps: the "emborgnie", a compartment with a small mesh woven from the myrtle from the hills, for catching morays, and the "garbelle", a compartment with two entrances. Formerly they fished with the seine (the "bargin") which consisted of throwing a net from 500 to 600 metres long on the main beach in Le Lavandou or Cavalière with two teams of 10 fishermen.
