Gégé, Sénan of origin spent his childhood on his island, and it was with his father, a fisherman, that he began to learn to tie the various marine knots necessary for boats, nets and pots. After a professional career in the French Navy, he regularly hosts events around the art of marine knots for the Port Museum of Douarnenez. He tells us about his life and these techniques in his “bredoneg an enez” (Breton language of the island of Sein)
