In Port Joinville the catch of the day is no longer the, now elusive, White Tuna.
Although a fleet of pot boats industriously seed the surrounding waters with their buoyed baskets. In search of lobster and crab for local tables. The last of the tuna fleet is ashore, serving as a quayside roundabout (green hull, top right)
Instead it is the double decker Vedettes which bring home a golden haul of holiday makers.
Who make a beeline for the bicycle hire shops, opposite the Gare Maritime, upon landing.
Before setting off, front wheels wobbling, to explore the backstreets. . . .
. . . . .and alleys, of this most informal of former fishing villages.
The cool stone austerity of its church square. . .
. . . . contrasted by the hot vibrant colour spilling from every white-walled garden.
