We visited Séte in the first week but I didn't get around to writing about it. The fishermen of the region around Rochelle, and now the fishermen on the south coast, have been on strike because of the high price of Gaz(oline.) Almost every night there is something in the news and Séte has featured prominently. There is a shortage of fish in the restaurants.
The highlight of our visit was Jean-Paul giving us a demonstration of the how, at the festival in Sète in summer, the Savateurs or competitors battle it out on board traditional boats.
It was quite a sight!
