Fourmentin-Avisse was a fishing company based in the port of
Boulogne-sur-Mer.
In 1910, the company purchased the Ambroise Paré; requisitioned in
1915 by the French Navy, the ship was retroceded to the shipowner in
1919. Requisitioned once again in 1939, she was seized by the Royal
Navy and retroceded to the shipowner in 1946, until eventually scraped
in 1951.
A Mr. Fourmentin-Avisse was delegate in the international conference
on fishery regulations held in London on 19-23 March 1937.
