Concarneau’s criée works in the early morning, as the catch is graded and sold on the floor. Visitors follow the rouages of the sale, then sit down to a breakfast with the guide-conférencier of the town’s Patrimoine service. Talk turns to testimonies collected from the men who worked the hall, to fishing techniques, and to how the whole filière has changed. The auction is the emblematic site of fishing in Concarneau.
Café-criée : les coulisses de la criée de Concarneau
A working fish auction becomes oral history over breakfast, through testimonies collected from the men who once worked the hall, with a guide-conférencier.
