What is a fishery?<\/h2>\n\n

In Loire-Atlantique, a “p\u00eacherie” (fishing hut) is a hut on stilts<\/strong>, accessible via a pontoon from which a net, known as a “carrelet”, is suspended. It provides a sheltered place to fish and a place to relax. While most fishing huts are privately owned<\/strong>, some municipal or community fishing huts<\/strong> can be rented<\/strong> for the duration of a tide, or even a weekend , with the option of sleeping in the hut<\/strong>. This is an opportunity to spend an unusual day with family or friends, and to discover an ancient fishing<\/strong> technique that has existed since the 12th century<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Plaice fishing, a technique that fascinates fishing enthusiasts (but not only).<\/h2>\n\n

The carrelet is the name given to the square net (hence the name) used to catch fish. This fishing net, about 4 meters square, is stretched at the end of a pole that is lowered horizontally by means of a pulley<\/strong>. We then wait a few minutes before reeling in the net. Any fish trapped at the bottom of the net is retrieved using a long-handled landing net. <\/p>\n\n

Where can I find a fishing boat rental?<\/h2>\n\n

From the Loire estuary to the Breton marshes, via the C\u00f4te de Jade, Loire-Atlantique boasts almost 200 cabanes \u00e0 carrelet (fishing huts)<\/strong>. Most of these fisheries have neither water nor electricity, and are often rudimentarily equipped. All in all, they’re a great way to get away from it all. Close to our campsite, between the Loire and the ocean, there are several fisheries for rent in Saint-Brevin, Corsept and La Plaine-sur-Mer. <\/p>\n\n
