Come and visit a district in the heart of the Bay of the Somme with a different look, the port of Saint-Valery sur Somme in the Bay of the Somme with a prestigious maritime past and the sailors' district by crossing the medieval city to end our discovery at the chapel of Saint-Valery called the sailors' chapel. I will tell you the history of the port of Saint Valery sur Somme from the 17th century to nowadays, of the salt warehouse and the salt storehouse, of its chapels, its calvary, its streets with its charming colored houses with blue shutters. As the granddaughter of a long line of sailors, I will make you discover with anecdotes of which I have the secret the life of the sailors and the women of sailors in their daily life with their habits and customs in the district of the sailors known as the district of the "Courtgain" or of the "sauterelliers", the name of their boat. Before leaving the sailors' quarter, I will explain to you how the construction of the boats known as "sautrerelliers" is carried out, my father having been a boat builder in Saint-Valery.
