It seemed an outing was in order, so the next day we got ready to go to Sete. Known as the "Venice of Languedoc," Sete is a (fairly) cosmopolitan port and resort on the Mediterranean.

We happened upon the food market, so we took a whirl around:
We grabbed some lunch, then finished up our tour with long stroll along the Canal de Sete.
Not quite Venice, but appealing nonetheless:
I was thinking it might be fun to stop for a frozen treat — when was the last time you had gelato on an ice cream boat?
Sadly, the idea was vetoed by my traveling companions. I did get a consolation prize, though — we had grilled oysters for dinner!
