Day 32 Lovely bike path to Séte

We found an amazing bike path today - here to Séte. Having been to Marseillan Beach a few times, we finally aced the route this time. From there, it was another 15K or so to Séte. In total it was about 50K return, but lovely because it was flat & picturesque, with the Mediterranean Sea on one side and Étang du Thau on the other.

We didn’t venture far into Séte as the route was super crowded, but went far enough to see some humungous boats, and smaller ones parked 3 stories high. We watched a boat being hauled out of the water and hoisted up, but didn’t capture it in pics or videos.

Rather than pause in Séte for drinks, we went back to a nearby beach resort and enjoyed the calm ambience - and good people watching.

On route back, I insisted we stop again at the Palais des Congrès so I could video the amazing circular walkway between it and the Casino. Absolutely love the architecture - so simple & aesthetic. It was designed in 2019 by A+ Architecture, a French company, with artist Hervé di Rosa from Séte designing the white metal sculpture that covers the 2 buildings. Hope my video & pics capture a bit of it’s beauty.

We were home in good time to enjoy the fish Peter had picked up this morning, Felton. Reverso tells me is halibut, flounder, turbot - whatever it was, a simple pan fry with cherry tomatoes and it was delish.

Heading into our final few days and wanting to make the most of it.Read more
