Even if the Mediterranean Sea seems quiet and calm ,
sailors always needed protection to be sure to get back to the harbour;
Here in Nice , fishermen
are protected by Saint Pierre.
And since middle Age, each year , they thank their protector.
First , there's a mass, that takes place in the church of the port.
As a guard of honor ,
young people are dressed with historical costumes.
And this is our beloved "Capeline" ,
this special hat that women used to wear .

belle tradition ! la forme des capelines est très originale et les costumes ravissants :) merci aussi pour l'image ancienne !
bon weekend
Fine to have these cultural traditions, especially with the historic costumes. Good street photography.
Nice shots and very interesting!
I hope someday I will be able to watch some French traditional festivals.
