But the Princess found her crusader of promised in marriage, and Pierre, depity, started to weave bernes (Drap S).

From this activity it drew the nickname from Bernier. Thus this Bernier, founder of the village of clothiers, gave the origin of the name of Bernerie (the place where one manufactures bernes). As of the 16th century, the village of Bernerie became prosperous thanks to its fishing port and its shipyards. In these building sites were built the majority of the she-cat S of the Baie (boats inspired of the old ships Viking S, without prow nor poop and flat bottom, ideal for the Breton Marais in the south). The étier S (large ditches in the Marsh) being very narrow, when the she-cats arrived at the end, they could not make half-turn. Then the fishermen removed the rudder of the back to install it with before and thus, to set out again in the other direction. The she-cats being built and being repaired with Jaginière, one transferred them onto wood balls of the workshop to the port and conversely.
