"It is as beautiful an art to know how to behave towards men as to know how to behave towards ships" This sentence from the writer Joseph Conrad fits well with the vocation of the homes for sailors. At the Port of La Rochelle-Pallice, 1,200 boats pass through the year and 9,000 sailors stop at the Seamen's club, while the holds of the cargo ships are emptied and refilled with logs, cement, cereals or dough. paper. On land, the "seafarers" do not forget the sailors. In La Rochelle, as in almost all the ports, out of solidarity, there are always associations that offer a home, a place that acts as a refuge in the midst of the incessant traffic of goods. Since the attacks of September 11, 2011, sailors can no longer move around and leave ports as before. With the International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Installations - or ISPS code -, the movement of people in ports is closely monitored. During stopovers, the Seamen's club foyers are therefore the only places where they can communicate with their family thanks to their mobile via the club's WIFI or the purchase of a SIM card and have fun while spending an evening outside the boat.
