Saint-Pierre / Saint Peter (1)




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 .






I'm linking this to

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.
