We prove that any topological real line bundle on a compact real algebraic curve $X$ is isomorphic to an algebraic line bundle. The result is then generalized to vector bundles of an arbitrary constant rank. As a consequence we prove that any continuous map from $X$ into a real Grassmannian can be approximated by regular maps.
