SusanGottfried Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Are there any places in Paris where one can mudlark the Seine? If there are, is it legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I’ve obviously led a sheltered life, but what’s ‘mudlarking’? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherbanana Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 ‘Treasure hunting’ on river banks at low tide, often enough very muddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 There seems to be no word for it in French - perhaps it's too muddy a pastime for the locals to enjoy! But actually, would there be much scope along the Seine? It's not tidal, like the Thames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Don't know about mud larking, but we do have these here in Nantes " Pêche à l'aimant" Fishing with very powerful magnets on the end of a rope. We have seen them gathered at the port are in Nantes dragging loads of old metal objects out. Like many things in France which we may think is harmless, it is, in fact, regulated as this article mentions. https://www.lagazettedescommunes.com/692860/peche-a-laimant-quelle-reglementation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I saw a TV programme once about those magnet fishers; incredible what they find… Edited March 29 by Loiseau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
