EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a 'parqueuse d huitres' or oyster gatherer, working in the marshlands of Cap Ferret near Arcachon in south-west France during the early 20th century. The woman, dressed in a simple cap and blouse, wades through the shallow waters, her practical shoes protected by thick socks, as she gathers oysters from their beds. The oysters, known as 'dhuitres' in the local dialect, have long been a staple of the region's cuisine and economy. Despite the lack of Parisian chic in her footwear, the oyster woman's determination and focus are evident in her posture and expression. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when the simple pleasures of harvesting the sea's bounty were a daily reality for many coastal communities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of French maritime life and the important role that oyster gathering played in the region's culture and economy. Cap Ferret, located at the western end of the Arcachon Bay, has been a popular destination for oyster farming since the 19th century. The area's unique geography, with its extensive network of oyster beds and tidal estuaries, has made it an ideal location for the cultivation of these delicious and nutritious mollusks. Today, visitors to Cap Ferret can still witness the traditional methods of oyster gathering and enjoy the region's famous oysters, which continue to be a source of pride and livelihood for local residents.
