Crevette Fishergirls of Carantec, Brittany, France: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional fishing life in Carantec, a picturesque coastal village located in the Finistere department of Brittany, France. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily lives of the local crevette fishergirls. The women and girls in this photograph are dressed in their traditional Breton attire, complete with colorful aprons, striped bonnets, and clogs. They are busy at work, mending their nets and preparing their baskets for another day of fishing for crevettes, or shrimp. The large nets, piled high and spread out on the sand, attest to the industry and hard work that went into providing for their families and community. The seafood industry has long been an essential part of the economy and culture of Brittany, and Carantec was no exception.

This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the crevette fishergirls, who braved the elements and the challenges of the sea to provide for their families and community. Their traditional clothing, with its distinctive aprons, bonnets, and clogs, is a reminder of the unique history and heritage of Brittany and its people.
