Les voiles latines

The nautical tradition of Saint Aygulf, this commune of Fréjus is no longer to be demonstrated. Since Antiquity this Provençal locality has sheltered fishermen and boaters.
The Association des Voiles Latines wanted to revive some episodes that have marked its history. These different subjects will be developed during theme evenings this winter, by Madame Claude Lusinchi and will also be published.
Pleasure boating in the Gulf of Fréjus – Saint-Raphaël, traces the evolution of the boats and famous boaters who crossed the gulf out of necessity or for pleasure from 1930 to the present day.
The fishermen of the Villepey ponds describe in parallel the changes in landscapes, population, activities and techniques from Antiquity to the present day.
Sailors' superstitions date back to the dawn of time. Rites and phobias for a human being, an animal or an object closely mixed religion and profane act. And some of them still exist today, as proven by the words of the skippers.
The coastal path, formerly the customs path, before becoming an attraction for hikers and lovers of the sea and the sun, had a military vocation with the defense of the coasts, and an economic vocation with activities linked to the sea, to which must be added smuggling.
The Villepey Ponds glossary provides some useful definitions, allowing everyone, while admiring the landscape, to better understand it or more simply to find their way around.
