We started this beautiful morning by climbing up Mont St. Clair. This gave us a great view of the land and water around Sète. The city is almost completely surrounded by water: canals, rivers, etang (large pond) and the Mediterranean. It was a good climb up, so much for our day of rest. Next we descended the other side to again find la mer et la plage. It was a nice sunny day, about 25°, but the water was icey, so no swimming, only wading. Then we walked back into the centre ville area and treated ourselves to an ice cream sundae in a café along the waters edge. We spent a little time looking for some new shorts for George but weren’t successful. He is actually getting tired of the one pair of shorts he brought (other than his cycling shorts). He was bragging about his lightweight pack but now is wishing he had a bit more along.
There is so much activity along the canals here. Check out the rowboat races we encountered both evenings.
The well earned view looking northeast towards Montpellier, our next destination.
Out behind Tara you can just make out where there is some intensive oyster farming in the Etang.
Looking back west and the beaches we rode beside yesterday.
On one of the many beaches around Sète.
The harbour is truly a busy place, full of fishermen and commercial traffic.
Both evenings we were here saw boat races in the canal close by the hotel. Unfortunately we missed the famous water jousting Sète is famous for.
