France Trip: Around Sête

Around Sète, Canal Royal

Five night in Sète, France to recover from my travel ailments...and enjoy the beach! Sète is a lovely little fishing town on the Mediterranean Sea (as well as the Étang de Thau). My boulangerie tour guide recommended Sète (as well as Antibes) to me, and his recommendation was spot on, which we'll see in future posts.

In the meantime, here's a bunch of photos from walking around this quaint little town. Such as the Place du Pouffre above, with its aquatic statues, as well as the view from right outside my AirBnB (above-right). That hike up the hillside, all stairs was...quite the workout. There's a reason why my suitcase had to be small!

Lovely scenes along the Canal Royal (Canal Midi? Canal du Rhône?). Lined with lovely little cafés, and fancy boats. The streets that branch off from the main canal-streets are full of great little shops, boulangeries, more cafés, etc. Just a wonderful place to amble around.
