Maréis

let us tell you the story of the sea...

Maréis invites you to discover a craft which is special and not well known to the public.

   

Through this guided tour you can share the daily life of the seamen of Etaples : training, ship building and financing of the boats, the organisation of a fishing port...

Throughout the commentary there are workshops where you can learn how to tie seamen’s knots.

Your exchanges with the presenters of Maréis will help you to better understand what is at stake in deep sea fishing today : the risks of the trade, the sale of fish and the regulations in force.

You will live with the fishermen, follow the rhythm of the trawls through a 3D film made on the deck of a trawler.



The latest spaces of the Maréis, which are free and open, bring a playful element to your discovery of fishing.

The fish of the Channel and the North Sea will no longer be a secret for you. You can watch them and even touch then in the aquariums and handling tanks.

You can also enjoy yourself in the gale room with the navigation simulator.

A two hour original experience at the heart of the Fisherman’s town.
