What to expect
Your guide meets you at the port and drives you through Sète's neighbourhoods to the bustling fish market, where you'll see boats unloading the morning's catch. From there, you head to an oyster farm on the lagoon where staff explain cultivation methods before you taste several varieties. The afternoon includes a winery visit with wine sampling and conversation about local production. Throughout, your guide contextualises what you're seeing—the economics of fishing, seasonal rhythms, family operations passed down generations. Expect a relaxed pace with plenty of standing and walking at each stop.
