I’m a professional fisherman in Le François
When you step aboard, you enter my everyday life as a professional fisherman. My trips are real cultural bridges, where I pass on a time-honoured craft.
I watch the wild iguanas without disturbing them, sail carefully around the islets of Le Robert and show you the Baignoire de Joséphine while protecting what makes it unique.
