Secluded rooms with sea views in french La Rochelle
– these are not modern “self-isolation cells” in line with these times.
It’s small old fishing houses where the fishermen can sit indoors
– while keeping an eye on their fishing rods.

how cool! though they would work as quarantine cabins as well )
No doubt. 🙂
I think these days they would be very popular!
No doubt. 🙂
We have something similar here. When the lakes freeze, fishermen haul ice fishing houses onto the lakes, and leave them there until the ice begins to melt.
There’s no floor so they can drill a hole in the ice, set their fishing pole on a stand and sit back on their lawn chair.
They have a small refrigerator, a TV, and usually a friend or two to keep them company while they wait for a bit.
I’m originally from a much warmer climate where the lakes never freeze. I was completely surprised to see this when I first moved here.
Have seen on Youtube these ice fishing “houses” on lakes – mostly from Canada and Russia, guess there are other places too. 🙂
Never thought to check Youtube.
One could move into an ice fish house and live in it for all of winter.
Not something I want to do, but I don’t fish at any time of the year.
Nor do I. 🙂
Have not seen the fishermen in America do this. Very interesting.
Don’t know how much difference between low and high tide in America.?
Quite a bit of difference between low and high tide in America.
So a “long-legged” fishing house would be perfect. 😀
Yes, but I have never seen any on the coasts in this country. They are missing out here!
Sometimes it’s good to be the first sometimes not – so I would be careful about advices. 😀
Have no idea what you mean about being careful about advice. Was not giving anyone advice – was simply saying we do not have fishing houses like this on American coasts.
Hope you did not misunderstand me. I just thought I didn’t know if it was a good idea when they weren’t already there. 🙂 By the way i Africa so I have met “long-legged” river-restaurants, very cozy. 🙂
I think those tall fishing huts would be a great thing to have here in America. Here they use long piers that go way out into the ocean for people to walk on and fish from.
Those long piers you talk about, guess they are similar to them there are seen many places in UK too.? It could be said that these are more private – don’t fish but these (private) ones looks very cozy to me. 🙂
We have private and public piers here in the U.S.
Sounds like a fun thing to do for a little while. 😉
Could be a new indoor interest. 😀
