Le Touquet-Paris-Plage: A Timeless Tradition of Shrimp Fishing - Five Teenage Girls, 1911, France This evocative photograph captures the essence of a time-honored tradition in the picturesque coastal town of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France. Five teenage girls, dressed in simple yet practical clothing, are seen carrying rolled-up fishing nets on the sandy beach. The scene transports us back to a simpler era, where the daily rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the tides. The girls, with their determined expressions and focused gaze, are preparing for an afternoon of shrimp fishing. The rolled nets, a traditional method used in this region, are designed to catch shrimp as they burrow into the sand during low tide. The girls' deft handling of the heavy nets speaks to their skill and experience, as they have likely been learning this craft from a young age. The photograph, taken in 1911, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and its long-standing connection to the sea. The town, known for its stunning beaches and elegant villas, has been a popular seaside resort since the late 19th century. However, its roots lie in the fishing industry, which continues to thrive today. As the girls set out to fish, the sun casts a warm glow over the sand, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the people of Le Touquet and the sea, a bond that has been passed down through generations and continues to shape the town's identity.
