The Parcs at Low Tide - Dieppe, France: A Traditional Fishing Method of the Past This evocative photograph captures the scene of The Parcs at low tide in Dieppe, France, a traditional fishing method used by local fishermen over a century ago. The Parcs, consisting of long, tall poles and high nets, were meticulously arranged as a trap for fish, which remained within the parc until the tide receded. Fishermen and fishwives worked together in this static fishing method, requiring permission from the Dieppe Maritime Register before they could begin constructing the parc. The tall poles, or 'funnels,' were driven deep into the sand and held the nets in place, creating a funnel-like structure that trapped fish as the tide receded. The Parcs were a significant part of the coastal community's history and daily life. The catch, consisting of various fish species, was an essential source of food for the local population. The scene depicted in this photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the rhythm of the tides dictated the daily routine of the fishermen and their families. The Parcs method of fishing was a communal effort, with the entire community coming together to construct and maintain the parc during the low tide season. The nets were made of natural materials, such as hemp or flax, and were carefully mended and repaired to ensure their longevity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich fishing heritage of Dieppe and the importance of preserving traditional methods of fishing for future generations. The Parcs, with their tall poles and high nets, stand as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Dieppe and their deep connection to the sea.
